Symptoms may be visible, as when the skin is affected, or invisible (when only internal organs are involved) or a combination of both. Characterized by unusual fibrotic processes resulting from increased production and deposits of collagen in the skin, the name Scleroderma derives from the Greek skleros (hard) and derma (skin). First reported in the mid-1700's, it remains difficult to diagnose. There is no known cure. Thanks to recent strides in research, more options now exist in many areas of symptom management. Symptoms of scleroderma may include one or more of the following: Raynaud's Phenomenon(abnormal sensitivity to cold) Swelling of the hands and/or feet Pain and stiffness in the joints Thickening of the skin, joint contractures Digestive system and gastro-intestinal tract problems Oral, facial, and dental problems Kidney, heart, and lung dysfunction
