Hi angi123 😊🌸🌿🦋

If you go to mayoclinic.org you can research Systematic Scleroderma. This site is from a world renowned clinic known for excellence in diagnostics and care. This site will allow you to research your symptoms. I searched a little and it does talk about vascular affects.

I have so many of these bulging veins on my hands and arms that I look like a road map.

Best wishes and take care.

😊🌸🌿🦋🙏😊💗😘

That looks like my hands sometimes. If you are a mature age person, it looks normal to me, just fluctuations in temperature

Hi, I have Primary Raynaud's. My hands look like this if they warm up and then go back to normal temperature - like after a hot flush or if I nod off with my hands under my heated pad - bliss :O) It is as though the veins stay open for longer than it takes for my hands to get back to "cold". I'm looking at my hands as I type and I can see the veins are more prominent - I think this is because I am working my hands. This also happens to people as they get older. If it is hurting you I'd like to suggest that you speak to your medical team while you have the problem. Otherwise, I would suggest telling them about it the next time you see them. Take care & keep warm - it was 5C at 9am today in the Midlands - brrrrhhh. xx

My hands look just like yours,I have had Scleroderma for 18 yrs. and when mine started to change I felt like I was going crazy and then I found out about the disease.

Pulmonary hypertension, but I also have bleeding esophageal varacies that have to get banded even so often, have portal hypertension, gerd, rhemotid arthritis I'm a waking mess my liver is shot I am now on my fourth year of my five year prognosis. And we will just see about that! I have noticed the spots all over the roof of my mouth now and my bottom lip is purple with the spots too. My tongue when I kid move it flat has these weird groves on it looks like little rivers sort of, anyone experiencing this mouth thing?
