Hi,
Has anyone here been diagnosed with Raynauds and/or Scleroderma?
I have the symptoms of Raynauds (hands go white and numb in the cold then burn and turn red and tingly on reheating) along with small skin discolourations on my back and torso reminiscent of morphea ( a symptom of localised an/or systemic scleroderma).
I have been to my GP who has referred me to a neurologist (because of the tinlging/numbness) but I'm worried that Raynauds and Scleroderma fall within the knowledge range of a rheumatologist and feel that I'm not being treated for the right thing. I just don't know what to do :weep:
Can anyone advise?
