Doc visit this morning and he says my skin seems better, like it's loosening up some, softer. I had suspected this, but it's hard for me to tell, since I'm in my skin all the time. This could mean the scleroderma is on the other side of its course through my body. That would sure be swell. I'm still itchy and with the calcium deposits and the Raynaud's and all, but feeling pretty good otherwise. Plus the phlebotomist only had to poke me twice to get blood (sometimes, it is in fact more gruesome than this). So, anyway, yay!
