The bodily trials continue here;have had to drug myself into a near stupor to keep from tearing the skin off all my fingers. But still and yet, cats. #scleroderma #progressreport #catsofmastodon

Things are a little challenging here. Between scleroderma and covid...well. I am tired. Here’s a cat. At least there’s cats. #scleroderma #catsofmastodon
Ugh..! That’ll teach me to think I can stop putting k-tape on my oxygen’s #NasalCannula that I’ve been using to prevent cheek blisters caused by pressure sores 😢
I can’t believe how much my cheeks hurt right now, as well as how itchy & swollen everything is on top of it 🥺
So much owieness… everything touching my face hurts, even my glasses 😣
I wish there was a #BetterSolution for #SupplementalOxygen users 😓

After 3 years of struggles with #rareDisease we got some good news today.✨️
It's my birthday next week. At some point I thought I wouldn't see that day...
Chronic illness is hard.
Rare disease is hard.

There is no cure for #scleroderma and a lot of research still needs to be done.
I am grateful for the fantastic .@LeedsHospitals research team and .@NHSEngland 💙

February is #raynaudsawarenessmonth.
Raynauds is a disease affecting blood vessels, leading to colour change, pain, & numbness.
It is triggered by cold temperatures, anxiety or stress, but is also very common secondary to #Scleroderma.
