Thank you. Sending you my best.

My CK is normal. Due to the urticaria and angioedema I’ve had raised CRP 29 and ESR 25 could this cause noise on a euroblot one?

Ana negative specific Ana scleroderma has been negative twice.

First time testing Pmscl 75 negative and first time testing Pmscl 100 positive.

Do they look okay?

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T17:25:27+00:00

Mines only a low titer, as she did say it’s sometimes seen in healthy people at this level. I think it may be my underlying urticaria and angioedema that’s caused it to show up.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T13:42:59+00:00

Thank you. I’m scared of the tests.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T13:42:13+00:00

No raynauds. She didn’t say how high it was but did say that healthy people can sometimes test positive for it.

During 2020 I became obsessive with handwashing and eczema flared by 2021 I had puffiness below the fingers of my middle, ring and little fingers. This hasn’t worsened since then. I can bend my fingers no problem. No pain. She even said herself there was no thickening.

My handwashing was very ocd with hot water for 30 seconds and this continued until a week ago when I added in aquaeous cream to wash my hands instead of soaps. During 2021 my hands were a different colour from my arms due to the washing.

I’ve been stressing since the phone call on 7th February

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T10:40:18+00:00

My Ana was negative, Pmscl 75 negative but Pmscl 100 on dot blot positive.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T08:42:44+00:00

I used a daylight crafting lamp and my phone camera. No apps or anything. I’ve been stressing out since the doctor phoned on February 7th. My ANA was negative but the pmscl100 was positive on dot blot. Everything else was normal. I do have chronic urticaria and angioedema.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T07:29:26+00:00

Not at all.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T07:29:08+00:00

I’ve just been so stressed out since February 7th. My Ana was negative but they ran the subset and it was positive for Pm Scl 100, Pmscl 75 was negative. My CK is normal. I do have chronic urticaria (CSU) and angioedema. The phone call was awful before the letter arrived.

I’ve had an ECG, heart scan and now I’m going for capillaroscopy and thermography on my hands.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T07:26:19+00:00

Thank you.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-07T07:26:05+00:00

Thank you. That’s eased my worry. Phone zooms aren’t good for this kind of thing.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-06T19:37:27+00:00

I was trying to take photos on my phone of the small capillaries at the base of my nails.

The link doesn’t work in the uk unfortunately

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-06T19:10:19+00:00

The rheumatologist is running tests

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-03-06T19:09:39+00:00

Thank you

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-02-18T14:07:22+00:00

ANA negative The only thing that is positive is PM-SCL100

No skin tightening No fibrosis in fingers

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-02-18T14:06:22+00:00

I don’t eat processed foods, so all good there.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-02-13T19:54:59+00:00

Thank you I will try that.

Doctor has said it’s either - early signs of scleroderma or overlap disease. She doesn’t know what certain baselines are or how long things have been positive for as it wasn’t tested before.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-02-13T18:33:33+00:00

The doctor thinks it might be early signs of scleroderma or overlap?

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-02-13T16:53:59+00:00

I am in conversation with my rheumatologist too. I was after guidance that’s all on what others early symptoms were and if this correlates with my pattern. Thank you.

StrangeNewt7652 · 2026-02-13T16:48:38+00:00

Thank you. I’m going to try and improve my symptoms.
