Hi Everyone, my diagnosis was confirmed by my GP last week and at first I was a bit depressed about it, spend time keeping fit and eating well to try and keep myself fit and healthy. I am a 64 year old female (which seems a bit of a novelty on here) and have a nodule and cord on the ring finger of my left hand and the GP felt he could feel something on the little finger too.
I have waded through a lot of the information here although some of it takes some getting used to on the technical side.
My question at the moment is has anyone used massage as a therapy (I did read the abstract), my GP didn't suggest any exercises and in my non-medical brain massage seems like something that may at least delay onset (although some of my reading seems to suggest it progresses quicker in men). I have started massaging as I don't see that it can do any harm but any anecdotal experiences please.

Thanks for any info.
