It's time to see a rheumatologist if you experience persistent joint pain, swelling, or stiffness that lasts for more than a few weeks, especially if it affects your daily activities. Other signs include unexplained fatigue, skin rashes, or systemic symptoms like fever or weight loss. If you have a family history of autoimmune diseases or if your primary care doctor recommends a specialist, that can also indicate the need for evaluation by a rheumatologist. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for effective treatment of rheumatic conditions.

How is Scleroderma treated?
The first thing to do is get a Rheumatologist that knows about Scleroderma. It's treated by the symptoms that one has. Everyone that has Scleroderma has symptoms in common, but no one really has all the same symptoms as another. I have Scleroderma, and I see my Rheumatologist primarily, but also see a Gastroenterologist for my "tummy" problems, a hand surgeon for my Raynauds problems, sometimes a Dermatologist. Your Rheumatologist will lead you in the right direction.
