My mom has scleroderma; what is the best way to comfort her from afar?

Filed under Scleroderma



My mom was diagnosed with scleroderma 6 or so years ago. Lately, she says it has been getting worse, affecting her esophagus and she needs to get it stretched.

I'm her only family, and I live over 5000 miles away. She has a few friends, but no one to insist they go to the hospital with her etc. It's breaking my heart...what else can I do besides call her and give her my love and support?

    I don’t understand what her condition is, but i’ll try to help in the best way I can.

    Appreciate the fact that your mother is alive. You have an oppertunity to visit her, so why dont you? She is your MOTHER. Come on – you LIVED inside of her for 9 whole months and she brought you into this world. The least thing you could do is to pay her a visit? Dont take your mum for granted.
