4 Replies

Sorry but this also and whit lumps under skin and real bad circulation and pain and in feet. Also fingers bend sidewYs or stick together shake uncontrollably (intermittently) and swell and go hard. Arms also go solid now new symptom cannot lift foot towards me or move toes (also intermittent through each day )?

Are the white lumps collagen or calcium buildups? What did your rheumatologist say or prescribe? I take amlodipine to open vessels in fingertips and it has helped my raynauds. I also use several skin creams and drink water (avoid sugary drinks) throughout the day to keep down stickiness. And I purchased Conair Infared Hydrospa for Hands and also a vibrating plate both of which I may use once a month for dryness and stiffness. Check with your doctor to see if these may work for you. If so, I’ll check on the name of the therapy balm to use on your hand with the hydro spa.

Sorry I don’t know what they are and so far I’m not examined . One rheumatologist wrote a report saying signs of possible raynauds but no signs of vasculitis nailfold changes or synovitis but HE WAS the other side of a desk and my hands on lap he didn’t even ask to look or touch me . I feel like I’m invisible, I’m just totally done the more I’m dismissed the worst I feel and just don’t know where to turn. Sorry to sound miserable but I truly am, the more they dismiss me the more family dismiss me , I’m sure they think I’ve gone mad even though they can see it but once a doctor takes no notice neither do they which is why I’m so glad I found this site to know I’m not absolutely alone just unfortunate I can’t get help from where I need it. I’m scared something bad may happen before I’m noticed, it flares and ebbs and to top it off my urine is now intermittently clear like water ?

No, you don’t sound miserable. You just voiced a lot of frustration, something we all do with this condition. Hopefully, you’ll find a rheumatologist that can figure it out for you. Keep reading on this forum. Try what you and your doctor think may work for you. For me,as my condition changes, I change up on my own little creature comfort cures. Try to figure out what triggers certain responses from your body. (Like for me at one point, garlic made me feel itchy) And remember to avoid stress yourself to avoid flare ups.
