Advice please

I have had Raynauds my whole life (I am 48) and was diagnosed with linear scleroderma when I was about 13. Over the past couple of years, I have started to experience terrible fatigue, upset stomachs, my joint pain is much worse in feet, hands, wrists and I am getting pain in my scleroderma patches on my arms. Fibromyalgia and PVS and ME have all been floated to me as the issue, but I have had a scleroderma diagnosis since I was very young. I have asked for a rheumatology referral as I haven't seen a specialist since 1993. In your opinions, could it be my scleroderma that is causing me these problems, even though it is localised, not systemic?
