Schleroderma and Raynauds

[coser]

I have noticed as the winters are feeling colder that my Raynauds and Ostioarthritis are worse than normal, but, worse still the last couple of weeks the tops of my legs and arms are painful and swollen. They feel bruised but, are not. It hurts to lean on my legs when I am lounging on the sofa and worse still if one of my cats sits on my lap. I have never experienced this before so I don't know what it is. Anyone out there know what it is or have the same?

rheumatology, immune doctor would on my list to see and make noise ask for help. tell them your syemptoms if your in pain. prazosin for raynaud's, slindelafil, other things, try crushing rosemary under a warm tap at bath time it will help you sleep, warm pjs to protect your joints, keep a journal of how your feeling share with your doctor hope that helps, love julie

Yes, in my legs. It sounds exactly like mine. And i even have the same problem if the cat sits on me. I was thinking of phoning my GP for advice as its so painful
