Which one is the ***Rarest Form*** of the different types of **Scleroderma**???

[8whitetoes]

Because I'm now puzzled ....

Just over the past year ..., Now ..., I thought there were Several people being treated ..., (With ***Systemic Sclerosis Scleroderma***) along with my self at Vanderbilt In Nashville TN .... I very recently learned ..., I am **one of one ** or possibly ** one of Two**.... *Systemic Sclerosis* has been divided into different groups...

I was Diagnosed years before a blood test existed...

The Rhematologist was Absolutely the Best in my area ..., A gentleman so (Intelligent) he could examine (X-Rays) alone and honestly tell you point blank **The Autoimmune Conditions** ...A grate bedside manner..., TOO the point... No sugar coating !!!!

As far as I am aware the rarest form of Scleroderma is Sine Sclerosis which effects the organs but not the skin. As you also said there are two subsets of Systemic Sclerosis which are Localised and Systemic. Which also have subsets of their own. But in general on here there are more than a few with any of the different subsets of Systemic Scleroderma. Myself included who has Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Scleroderma. I’m sure quite a few others will come forward with the type that they themselves have.

Some doctors are finally realizing that scleroderma & other autoimmune diseases are caused from viruses & bacteria in the body. Diet, anti viral herbs, fruits & antibiotics if bacterial helps to put in remission. These virus & bacteria laying dormant until immune system gets run down & causes immune system to go crazy.
