How Can Morphea Be Treated?

Yes I ve been diagnosed with Morphea . I m on Methotrexate and I ve had all the myositis tests and they have come back negative . I ve done a barium swallow and it was fine except I do have trouble swallowing in that it feels like it does not go down easily and a very heavy neck ? I have massages and am going to physical therapy tomorrow but something is not right
