Hi All,

I filled out the questionnaire.

I had LD and early DD. Verapamil/lido only treatment. I am having major cramping in my right hand (both effected). It is usually from lifing heavy pans, using knife for expending time in kitchen and/ or typing and writing. Weather can make it very painful. My hands wake me in the night w/ pain.
Bought Tommie copper gloves that help. But the right hand seems to be advancing at a faster rate.
Was semi-dxd w/ an auto0immune skin disease, they just can't make up their minds as to which one. I was put on Plaquenil in Dec 2014.
Wonder if the Plaquenil is causing more hands issues. It has helped in other ways so I hope not.
Any advice on how to stop the cramping when having to use hands? Right now I put a pot holder over knife handle and blade but doesn't help that much. I have also been wearing the gloves especially on right hand day and night. Luckily they wash and air dry quickly
Thanks,
Heron
