hi 🙋 all ..my name Nikki I was diagnosed SLE 1996 ... 2yr after i had my first son..... I also have daughter 20yr who gave me my gourgeous granddaughter 5mths , and two other sons 9 & 3... My symptoms are chronic depression ,ocd, anxiety, joint neck and back pain ,fatigue ,exhaustions dystonia and nerve damage to base of spin ... I also have been struggling... I find that theres still alot of ignorance towards SLE... I was actually trying to find out about my sore dry cracked very itchy palms iv had for the past year which am sure has been triggered off due to on going anxiety and stress .... iv been given antibiotic creams... steroid creams and every other cream that's on prescription and none of them have helped.... have also bought variety of hand creams .... Has anyone else had this problem....

Hi nikfras

Ive been diagnosed with vasculitus, fibromyalgia, possible shrogens and lupus and severe pancreatic insufficiency. Ohh I forgot to mention a brain tumour too but that’s been sorted thank god. Anyways back to your itchy hands. Please ask your gp to look into your pancreas. Sometimes itchy hands and feet are symptoms to do with problem with your liver and pancreas. I had itchy hands and a few months later I found out my pancreas was not in good health.

I don’t want to worry you I’m pretty sure you will be ok but just to be on the safe side ask your go to do some bloods just to rule it out. Good luck xx
