LOL you have that right Sheila. Most just look at you with a blank expression.

Angelwing,

Yes, the fascia is between the skin and the muscle. Have you ever taken the skin off of chicken for a skinless chicken breast, then you saw a very sheer sheet of tissue? That's fascia. The lumps, oh joy, I know those. I thought they were also part of fibro though, not just myofascial pain syndrome. I have negative ANA lupus. Sorry to hear you have MFPS as well as lupus. So little understood that I might as well say I have "oooga boooga" when I go to the E.R. or Dr. in uncontrollable pain. MFPS means nothing to most medical people.

Shiela,
I haven’t officially been diagnosed with scleroderma, my rheumy saw the area and said it was “dry skin” that was ver three years ago and I still have it. Yep, it’s my frustrating MCTD life although I am in chronic pain, weak, have sores in my mouth up the wazoo! But, my kidneys are ok so I’ll take whatever it is I have, even the sensitivity/pain on the top of my feet. I have never suspected fibro tho…
