1. Progress has been made treating it

Oct 2015

The best overview I know of is at http://www.hopkinsscleroderma.org/scleroderma/ You've probably already found http://www.scleroderma.org/site/DocServer/systemic.pdf?docID=325

While it is chronic and progressive, the progress has been slowed considerably and treatment can also reduce the symptoms.

http://www.scleroderma.org/site/PageNavigator/patients_whatis.html is also a good resource to keep up with drug trials and other treatments.
