By a blood marker. Mine was also diagnosed by building the skin of my ankles. They had swelled to the size of cantaloupes and were as hard as rocks. Both the blood work and the biopsy came back positive for Systemic Scleroderma.

I was impacted before 2000; however, I kept going to different doctors who would always say, "We cannot find anything wrong with you." I felt fatigued; At times, I had muscle weakness and feared dropping something I was carrying; I felt hot at times and cold other times; I could no longer handle cold foods or make hamburger patties; my face had places that broke out in 'shape of a butterfly.' That was the one thing that caused a doctor to test me for lupus. I tested positive; however, I was sent to a specialist who said, "You do not have lupus but Scleroderma." I was tested positive for Scleroderma and earned the label. Finally, I had a label!

Can be done a number of studies in blood to detect anti-body anti-nuclear, or also through biopsies of skin, but sometimes due to the ignorance of the disease and its symptoms, doctors may confuse them and diagnose wrongly
