Hi Everyone hope you are all well!
Just need a little advice please. As you are all probably familiar with my sores on my hand and toes I just wanted to get some advice.
First visit to Rheumy earlier this year and he noted the sores. He never mentioned what they were or what was causing them but wrote in a letter to my GP he suspected urticarial vasculitis! The sores went after several months but left my skin a purple kind of colour. In the last month I've had several new ones appear on my right hand. They begin as little blisters and then get larger and around the edge it looks like I've drawn in red pen? Also as I've mentioned before I went to A & E a couple of months back as my right hand went into spasm and I couldn't move it and it drained of all colour. Yet again no answers to that other than several doctors said that it was in keeping with a CTD ( nothings been diagnosed though!!)
Now my problem is that several weeks ago this right hand started shaking and I find it hard to manipulate small objects. Over the last couple of days I've begun to get worried as the hand is shaking all the time and even more when I've tried doing things. Should I go to GP and explain whats happening or will I seem silly? I remember at A & E when the vascular surgeon took a look he said that I should be referred to a vascular clinic which Rheumy said he would chase up but I've not heard a thing!
If you can give me any clues as to what it is and what I could do I would be very grateful:worried:
Many thanks and take care love
