Hi, thank you! I went to the rheumatologist about 10 days ago and he ordered 12 more blood tests! I am still waiting for the results.. since i last saw the dr the 'burst blood vessles' in my fingers have gotton worse (he said they were chilblains but i dont think they are!) also my left arm has lots of speckled red dots under the skin and today i had a nose bleed, im not sure if its all connected? Hopefully will get some answers when the bloods come back
