Alivia Watson

 

The March 2008 issue of the Scleroderma Voice (published by the Scleroderma Foundation) features a young lady by the name of Alivia Watson who was diagnosed with scleroderma in 2005.  She underwent painful and costly procedures, including IVIG and methotrexate, and had suffered from digital ulcers, joint pain and tight skin.  She miraculously began to feel much better in February of 2007 and was taken off all medication. To this day, she is still feeling well.  Alivia and her family don’t know why she suddenly started feeling better, but they attribute much of their strength throughout the process to God.  Alivia’s mom said

We may never know why God chose to allow Alivia to have scleroderma, but we do know in our hearts that He made her special.

Alivia’s parents put together a website describing Alivia’s course: www.helpalivia.com
