Scleroderma diagnosis

Jun 23, 2026


I was officaily diagnosed in 2013 at age 52.

My dermatoligist ran blood tests becaause I was complaining of the apperance of several red spots (telangiectasias) and Raynauds symptoms.

She came back with the news that I have CREST syndrome, a connective tissue diease and said I need to see a Rheumatologist.

I have been to 3 differen't rheumatologists that have not worked out for one reason or another.  I have not changed other physicians that I have seen for over 20 years. Just haven't had good luck with rheumatologists.  :(

I would like to hear about anyone's experience and preference for a rheumatologist in the Tacoma, WA area.
