I feel the same way. My symptoms started in my 30's, however, not diagnosed until 1 1/2-2 yrs ago. Thank God I became my own advocate and switched Drs.

I was diagnosed before the pandemic Sometimes I have esophagus spasms specially when I eat rice Spasms are painful the pain locates in the upper abdomen area Rice gets stuck and doesnât want to move towards stomach and you start salivating a lot You canât even pass saliva itâs very annoying Bottom line I avoid eating rice. I have also developed intolerance to low temperatures My feet and hands tend to get very cold even if the environment is not cold I feel cold. Itâs an annoying disease, rare, no treatment or cure. But it could be worst so I try not to complain

@Wayu my hand especially right hand get very cold too. Scleroderma can give you another disease that causes hands and feet to be cold. Please use socks, gloves and sweater. The goal is to stay warm and protect yourself especially hands and feet
@Overcomer yes I look like an old lady with seater, socks and I guess I will have to start using gloves at home LOL!

I was diagnosed last year but I guess I had symptoms for a while. My feet shows but I never knew and it seems like I had it for two maybe three years now
I guess I'm sharing cause I have never really told my story. Thank u for listening.
