The word “scleroderma” comes from two Greek words: “sclero” meaning hard, and “derma” meaning skin.
That is why oftentimes, people think that scleroderma is only all about the hardening of the skin, which is one of the most visible manifestations of the condition. Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
For people living with scleroderma, daily life can be extremely painful. The condition affects every aspect of their lives.
In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with one inspirational woman- Farah Khaleck, motivational speaker and scleroderma ambassador.
Farah was just 17-years-old when she began experiencing symptoms - discoloured knuckles; facial swelling and general stiffness. Unbeknown to her and several doctors these were the early signs of scleroderma. Several misdiagnoses followed over a two-year period before a doctor finally identified the condition correctly.
Since then, she has braved her situation to advocate and voice herself as a strong and empowered woman. Farah sees scleroderma as another challenge and has managed to live with it to her advantage. Because of her zeal and passion, she has managed to openly talk and share her story on various platforms. Farah has managed to educate many on her rare condition and gained support from her vast supporters who cheer her on every day.
Join us in this heartwarming episode as Farah shares her journey of acceptance and living life with scleroderma.
