The Voices of Scleroderma book series by the nonprofit International Scleroderma Network, present intimate stories of the illness plus stellar medical information for patients and caregivers of this often life-threatening autoimmune illness.

Some types of the arthritic disease scleroderma affect only the skin. However, the systemic form is the most fatal of all the rheumatic diseases as it can harden the skin, blood vessels and/or internal organs and thus "turn people to stone."

The Voices of Scleroderma stories were gathered from the world's leading scleroderma website, www.sclero.org. The site's medical and support content holds eminent sway with global medical consumers and experts alike, with 1200+ pages in 22 languages.

Impeccable medical articles by the leading world experts in scleroderma round out each volume. Series experts chosen by Dr. James R. Seibold, who is Chair of the ISN Medical Advisory Board and world thought leader in scleroderma, include Dr. Marco Matucci-Cerinic of Florence, Italy, and Professor Carol Black, president of the Royal Free College of Physicians in the U.K.

Thus, whether readers are caregivers, doctors, friends or sufferers of the disease themselves, each of the Voices from Scleroderma books will teach, inspire and comfort.

Voices of Scleroderma, Volumes 1, 2 and 3 are available for sale online at Amazon.com, Borders.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
