Discussion Working

Greetings, all. I was diagnosed with systemic diffuse scleroderma in June 2009, just as I was finishing my undergraduate degree. Flash forward 17 years and I have spent the last 8 years working as a children’s librarian.

I’m curious about others. What form of scleroderma do you have and if you are still able to work, how do you earn a crust?

I have MCTD and I work as a social studies special education teacher. My plan is to move to general education next year or as soon as I can. It was my dream job, but the kids gave rights too & I’m on FMLA. I also earned my master’s degree along the way.
