The woman whose skin is turning to stone

Imagine what it's like to feel your body turning to stone. That's what former school teacher Jay Virdee is going through. She's been diagnosed with Scleroderma - a rare and incurable degenerative disease which is slowly turning her skin rock hard. One day her skin will eventually be so hard she will be physically unable to smile. Doctors have told her it could ultimately kill her. She tells Mobeen she wants to raise awareness of the condition so people understand what sufferers are going through.
