Hi,

Is there any resource online where I can check/compare my symptoms? They are significant, but limited in scope. I did comprehensive neurological tests 7 years ago, they did ot yield any results, yet the disease is progressing and I don't really know what it is.

Thanks

This is an example of a symptom checker:
http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/crtop/toc.htm

Do you have atrophy of the muscles in your hands?
Do you have swelling or discolorations?

If you have visual signs of problems, can you photograph them
and put them up here?

Hands can have bone/joint issues.
They can have gout, or pseudogout.
They can have psoriatic arthritis.
They can have tendon issues.
They can have nerve issues.

Hands are complex... perhaps a "hand" specialist is called for.

Thanks, that's a good link. I will make photos.

I's just atrophy, no swelling and no discolorations.

Bones issues have been excluded 1 week ago with x-rays of both hands, they are OK.

Can I upload the photos here somehow? Can also send you a PM, mrsD

They may be too big. You have to resize to get them usually.

Photobucket does it free... and so does Paint, from Microsoft.
Paint is in your "accessories" if you have a PC. All Apples have software too.

I typically use 800pixels or less.

Scroll down below the submit button, and there is a "manage attachments" to click... follow the directions. I use jpeg format.

I can't send them in any way, unless I insert a link.

[mrsD]

are they on your computer? Put them there in a folder, and then use our manage attachments. That is how I do it.

An easy way is to upload them to your profile page album here, it can resize them automatically , then just link in posts to your profile album to share the photos.

None of the symptoms checkers I used for my RSI/TOS never gave me any answers, they are set up more for the general /better known conditions , not the lesser known/rare stuff.
