I just noticed now that right hands finger nails are a mixture of white and some black. Areas of both hands are turning blackish in spots especially at the moon on the finger tips it's a new one for me and a little scary

I needed to add some more in that all I have to do is just rest my arm on the table lightly and it feels like a million sharp electric shocks going through it This is the worst it's been yet.

Hey Boo! My hands are a mess.... They are so swollen since the spread.... I still remember my specialist telling me to go straight to the nearest fire department and have them cut my rings off.. I didnt of course... I managed to get them off.. Havent worn a ring since. My hands swell so bad that I cant make a fist. And they are always bright red with purple splotches on them. The drs havent even tried to treat them other than me taking more and more steroids. I am so sick of taking those things... All they do is make me swell up worse... My finger nail beds are usually white and my finger tips are always cold... Weird huh?

It's such a wonderful life isn't it. Well I spent the day at the mall I just had to get out I went to the salon had my hair colored, cut and styled and it's a lot different a lot easier to manage though. I couldn't believe it the coloring was on sale for $25 so I had to take that offer Smile ya can't beat that. But then some of the coloring got on my hands and I thought oh great now I'm getting spots of black circles on my hand then I thought oh it's the coloring Smile hehe.
