Mogil's MobCast: A Scleroderma Chat
Some allow their diagnosis to define them, falling victim to their diseases and living at the mercy of what the doctors tell them. Then there are those who face their illness head-on, taking responsibility for their own healing and choosing to a live thriving life.-Cami Walker
Mogil's Mobcast
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.

Writer's Glove
What is The Writer’s Glove?
It’s the only glove that covers the entire hand while still allowing you to type comfortably on a computer keyboard. The secret to The Writer’s Glove is in the patent-pending fingertips that allow you to feel the keys as you type. The gloves are thin and warm, and, yes, they work on touchscreens, too. This small, Minnesota-based business is owned and operated by its inventor and his family.
