Hi all. I've not posted for a while as things were ticking along quite nicely. I have finally gone on to monthly bloods, but i have noticed my fingers are feeling tight.Sad There is no swelling or pain, they just feel l ike they are pumped with insulation foam. They are not like they used to be at the beginning, but they just feel wierd. My feet are painful as well, but again, no swelling or as bad as the begining.Confused

I had my last blood test on 19th of march and i'm presuming all was well as i haven't been contacted.

Work is not going too well since we moved premises. The new place is mega busy and i'm dashing around and up and down. I have decided to look for something else a bit more sedate pace.Sad

I'm working 22 hours a week and its very full on. I get Wednesdays and Fridays off and that is most welcome. After typing this i'm going to have a nice little lie downSmile

bye for now, dawnybee

Hi dawn, not much time so quick message- please ask to be referred to dermatology in case your tight skin is scleroderma.

otherwise, it is most likely just swelling in the fingers making the skin tight.

Have you got a paraffin wax bath?
