I have arthritis in my back hands & shoulder....My right hand is getting difficult to use.
Numbness & tingling in my arms & for the last year in my legs below the knee.
Swelling in my hands, legs & face.
I have had 2 severe rash (all over) break outs in the last 6 months. (Itching & burning).
I have had a butterfly rash come & go for the last 6 months.
Fatigued most of the time.
Severe intestinal issues (my gi states my intestines are lazy) along with acid reflux, abdominal swelling.
My Father was diagnosed with scleroderma just before he passed away at 56 of lung cancer....I also have a first cousin on my moms side with lupus.
These are similar to his symptoms and I am currently waiting for a referral to a rheumatologist.
Any suggestions to discuss with the Dr. or tests would greatly help.
