I will pray for you and your wife if it's okay.
3 years ago I was diagnosed with SS and i have to say, the hardest part about the "label" is the lack of hope. It is hard enough for people to be people but then a dr. comes along and throws in a hopless label that leaves you feeling less than human. We are not components of disease and function. We are human beings, or rather, spiritual beings having a human experience.
Both my husband and i have to be on our toes about labels and fixing ideas that our doctors come up with.
I don't know how open your wife is but other studies about psychoneuroimmunology are promising, and might merit further exploration. A good book to read is Biology of Belief because it includes Science and the power behind our conditioning/thinking and the actual effect on our cell development.
I am in the middle of this process of trying to be well myself and everyday I have to work on hope. Any info I get I will also pass along. There is a way to wellness from scleroderma and I , and folks like you and your wife, we will find that way.
keep hope in your heart, sincerely, Juanita
