Thank you so much for the reply, MrsD

Those photos look EXACTLY like my hands, I swear. I thought I was looking at my own hands in them. And honestly, like you, it isn't in my fingertips either. I really don't get it. But this is informative.

Can this disease affect more than the hands and feet? I'm having burning sensations all over my body, my arms, my legs, even my stomach. It doesn't feel as severe as my hands. It feels more like there is heat trapped under my skin. That's the best way I can describe it. Also, the more humid and hot it is outside, the worse this seems to be. Is there a correlation there or am I grasping at straws now?

And of course, as this all progresses, my joint and muscle pain is worse as ever. I've cut out nightshades and gluten. I haven't had any MSG. Every time I google this stuff, a lot of fibromyalgia information pops up. I guess we'll see what my neuro and rheumy say at those appointments.
