*Progress - On 22nd February, 2022

Well here is what I have to report. I have not done another lung function test but they feel the same as before. My hands have gotten worse and movement is quite restricted and I can’t feel the ends of my fingers. The tips of my fingers have gotten rough and have tiny sores on them. My weight has gone up (97.1kg now) and yet I still manage to stuff myself into my old clothes. I’m not going to buy more clothes so body stuffing is my only option! My skin is ok, only skin involvement is on both my middle fingers. My wrists hurt and my flexibility has gotten worse all over my body. My oesophagus has sort of stayed the same and I choke a bit and have to be careful laying down after I eat. I was careful to not write “is getting worse” as the words “have gotten worse” refers to the past and not the future.

Disregarding all of the above, and with no evidence at all, I feel like I am very close to being healed.
