Photos Nails and Hands?

I developed Reynauds a couple years ago, which my doctor dismissed once he saw pictures. Didn’t know that if you are over the age of 40 and develop it could be due to auto immune disease. Have upcoming appointment with rheumatologist. Have also noticed increasing (severe) stiffness, swelling of fingers, itchiness, and palm of hand, and nail changes. I was hoping to post photos or a link to several photos so people could comment, but it looks like you can only attach one?

You could just attach one with a few others in comments if you want to. But remember that we aren’t here as doctors or HCPs so not able to comment on photos diagnostically anyway and you’ll hopefully soon learn more when you see the rheumatologist. Best of luck with your appointment. My friend just started Raynauds age 65 but hasn’t even bothered telling her GP because she only gets it in one finger when she’s gardening. I have tried to suggest she reports it but she says she’s not worried because she hasn’t developed other symptoms since it started 🤷🏼‍♀️
