Hi everyone,
I have had problems with my palms since 4/07. Was improperply dxd (sort of) with Duptrens, but that was resolved to be NOT true. Also, Sacoidoma that was ruled out. Now, my Internist is suspecting, and I had done research on the internet and found scleroderma and had the printout in my hand at my last visit. He did blood tests and an x-ray of my hands. I've only recieved the basis tests back..CBC and still waiting for the ANA to come back. I would like any and all please to tell me how the problems started with their hands, wrists, lower arms. I also have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, possible Myofacsial Pain. Please help me if you can. Thank you all, and have a great day :) Posted on 07/13/08, 12:07 pm |

Hi, I was diagnosed in 5/06 by doctors in Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota,so i no longer questioned that I have diffuse systemic scleroderma.The inflammation started in my right hand and moved up to below my elbow. Then it moved into my left hand and up to the elbow. I also have it in my feet and started getting in my neck and face. But I am getting good benefits from a homeopathy school that offers their services at a discounted cost. I still am monitored by my Uof MN doctor, but he has given me his ok about using this alternative medicine, and is supportive. I tried all the traditional meds with no good results.I have stayed much healthier without the meds,than the doctors predicted or thought. I also have researched nutrition, exercise, and go to therapy to work on my depression and relaxation therapy.I know how desperate I felt when I was told of this illness, so please try not to believe that the worst will happen. Each case is individual, and there are many things we can do to start the healing process. Take care and if you'd like I would be glad to share what I am doing,and what has happened to me. Toshie

Hi,
I have diffuse Sclero. and I had internal problems for about 14 years before my hands started swelling. My hands have been swollen for a year, the ends of the fingers look shiny, and I have trouble stretching my thumb and fingers apart. I drop things a lot, and it hurts if I move my wrist while grasping something. Karen
