Try contacting SAM at toledo-sg@sfohio.org. She is a group leader for the Scleroderma Foundation, in Ohio. I am not sure she is in Columbus, but would probably know good GI docs who know Scleroderma, in your area.

There was a time I was bleeding from the esophagus, (GERD) and stomach,(watermelon stomach), but that is all gone now! Had a good GI out here.

Thanks for the info. Its so hard to find docs that know alot about scleroderma!!! They have all heard of it, maybe have had one or patients with it, but for the most part just dont know enough to help!!
Thanks again

Thanks for the information. I have already been thru 3 rheumys who are not on the same page. I just want some help and it seems like I am getting the run around from each doctor.

Thanks for this information. I called the office and they are requesting info from my family physician. The lady that I spoke with said that they will review my records and get back to me when the doctor decides if he can help me or not. I hope that he will take me as a patient because I am getting no where with doctors around Springfield, Ohio.

Thanks
Sheila
