Oral steroid side effects
I have fibro plus other autoimmune conditions -
alopecia
, hypothyroidism, lichen sclerosis - and as a last line of treatment I have been put on steroids to a) help alleviate the pain and b) reduce the chances of any other autoimmune conditions occurring.

Diagnosing Scleroderma
I have a plethora of chronic conditions - migraine, tinnitus, hypothyroidism,
alopecia
, small fibre neuropathy, lichen sclerosis and Wear and tear arthritis. My gp diagnosed raynaud's with a query regarding scleroderma and referred me back to a rheumatologist that I had seen before re Sojrens.
