                        Hi Jean,  I read your email and know exactly how you feel. I was just diagnosed (for the present and am being monitored) with CREST - raynauds/scleroderma.  Right now from what I read, I get very depressed.  Not knowing exactly how far it will go doesn't help.      If you need an ear, please write.  I also feel very alone in this.
