KHello Dr Rynne. I'm 67, female, white, born with heart eventual septal defect, surgically repaired by stitching in
1960 at children memorial in chgo. Now many years later, I have been drag. With GERD with Hirata hernia no surge recc. 2 yrs ago. I stopped smoking 5 yrs ago after seein pulmonary spec who said my lungs looked good. My problem now is signs of what I have seen on line called Blue Toe. Very painful. Dr put me on amlodipine best 5mg and symptoms are better. Less pain, less ugly looking toe. I'm on glycopyrolate to help with my chronic cough which began also just befor I saw specialists my grandmother died many years ago with scleraderma inside her body. Could there be a test to rule that out. Blood was drawn 10days ago. Vita d deficient. Started on high dose d2 one tab wk for 8wks. Also given vita b inj I'm on paxil 60mg for severe depression and seeing counselor. Vita deficient didn't help with that!!! I'm seein dr tomorro so she sees feet. She will be referring me to a rheumatologist I think. I'm scared of scleraderma.. blood sugar was fine. I only eat once a day now cuz I cough so. Also on dexilant 60 wow. I bet you want to disconnect. Hah
