Before & After

This was in 2006 shortly before diagnoses. My upper lip was still full and I was at a healthy weight.

| 2010 on Prednisone, upper lip thinned out, weakened eyesight due to meds |
Prednisone "Moon Face"
Fingertip Progression/Amputation
The images below are graphic in content
It starts with a scratch that won't heal And then it becomes infected...and spreads
It begins to eat away at your flesh and causes gangrene

| Until the pain is so bad and there's nothing more you can do but amputate |
Hospital Stays & Other Shenanigans

ReplyDeleteThank you! I have been suffering with Raynaud's since 1996. The doctor's could not give me a diagnosis. Maybe lupus maybe this or maybe that. The pulmonologist finally diagnosed me with Scleroderma yesterday. I have felt so horrible for years, but reading your story I realize I am really lucky. It is slowly progressing. Again thank you for sharing your journey. I will continue to follow you and keep you in my prayers.
