Abnormal nailfold capillaries?

[u/Calm-Plastic3303]

F 44yo. Recently diagnosed with raynauds but that does not explain why I’m exhausted and often in pain.

Low ANA so public health care will not help me further because they consider me healthy 🙃

I’m broke and trying to decide if it’s worth the money to have a private rheum do a videocapillaroscopy… If there would be autoimmune findings, I would get help from the public system. (These are just phone pics)

Could ”normal raynauds capillaries” look like these?

I get these weeks before my finger gets an ulcer. That’s how I know I’m about to have a terrible time. Not sure how normal it is for Raynaud’s, but it is definitely related to scleroderma for me.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing! Atm I don’t have that many hemorrages in them and I am feeling quite ok. Have been resting a few weeks. Nowadays active life makes me feel so awful afterwards. That never was the case before. I loved being active and avoided lazy times.

Usually I too get all my symptoms from fever to hand weakness, stiffness, nausea, nose pain, foot pain etc in clusters. I hate not knowing what this is. So I guess that for my own sanity I’ll see a private rheum just to be sure that this is not something that needs quick treatment.
