Just a further update on my previous post to save any confusion when I advised my Rheumatologist my GP had informed me I have crest syndrome he immediately advised that is an old term the disease is actually Systemic Sclerosis ;I have been referring to the disease as CREST on my post as that's the term my GP used when she diagnosed and maybe because its easier to type sorry xx
