Scleroderma is another rare autoimmune disease that most people have not heard of. Like so many other autoimmune diseases it is very hard to diagnosis. It can take years and will affect every individual in different ways. It can be a brown spot on your skin all the way up to complete organ involvement. It is very tough on the individual and their families because it is rare and the medication used, Methotrexate, is often times harder on the body than the actual disease itself but it is necessary in order to help control the progression of the disease itself. Please take a moment to watch the video and educate yourself on this rare autoimmune disease and feel free to go go the the website listed for more information on Scleroderma.
