Diagnosed dSSc a few months ago. Limited ability to exercise. Have a lot of muscle weakness and joint pain. Need to lose weight and improve nutrition. Any one know of this disease or similar? Any tips for losing weight with limited mobility? Already not eating much due to medications killing my appetite. Lost 4 kgs but stopped there. Help!

    Hey there! I was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Fasciitis in February of 2017. Is your dSSC mostly skin or other organs that are affected? I found it very difficult to do anything when I was at my worst, and I lost significant muscle mass. I started doing physio therapy, and that definitely helped me get moving more. After that I started walking, I found it hard to get out the door but once I was out it felt really good!
