Sue, you were asking about hands, so hope you all do not mind if I put my two cents in.

I have a hard time writing. Sometimes I don't even recognize my own handwriting... Hands are swollen, but not very much. The knuckles look wierd, kind of fat and squared off instead of nicely tapered...

Nails had white lines across them for a while and going into the cold aisle in the grocery store caused much pain in the fingers-then the nail beds would turn colors, mostly red... Nails are just plain wierd... Sometimes no growth at all, sometimes they grow like crazy, but most of the time, the little fingernails don't grow at all...

When I write, it is like the muscles in my hands fatigue before I finish what I am writing, and it looks nearly illegible... !@#**#% Prednisone helps some...

This stuff is all crazy...
