Mogil's Mobcast-A Scleroderma Chat
The goal of my podcast is to have a central place for people afflicted with Scleroderma and a place for their families and friends to be informed by specialists in either Scleroderma or autoimmune topics. I will cover a wide range of topics like nutrition, medications, vitamins, and lifestyles. I will also showcase stories from others affected by Scleroderma and how they have dealt with the disease.

Today’s guest is Melissa Marquis, who shares her incredible journey of perseverance and advocacy. It took 10 years for Melissa to receive a diagnosis of undifferentiated connective tissue disease—a condition where the immune system attacks connective tissues, but the symptoms and lab results don’t fully align with any specific connective tissue disease. Three years later, she was diagnosed with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. After years of uncertainty and navigating frustrating symptoms, Melissa turned her experiences into a resource for others. She authored the book Invisible: A Nurse-Turned-Patient’s Resource to Living Well with Autoimmune Disease to support those facing similar challenges in their quest for answers.
