Question 1:	Would you please explain what an autoimmune disease is? I have been told this is the cause of my arthritis
Question 2:	I have been told by my doctor that I may have scleroderma, and he has ordered tests. Could you please explain what kind of sickness is scleroderma, what are the symptoms, and how is it treated?
Question 3:	My daughter has had SLE for twenty years. She is now getting ulcers and pains in her legs. She takes prednisone and aspirin, but no doctor can explain her problem to me.
Question 4:	My father keeps developing large watery blisters on various parts of his body, but particularly his thighs, hips and upper arms. His doctors say it is a condition called pemphigus, but none of their treatments are working. What do you suggest?
Question 5:	My horrible aches and pains have been diagnosed as polymyalgia rheumatica, and although medication seems to help, the pains keep coming back. How long will I suffer?
