You have a number of diffuse symptoms. Would follow up with an expert in scleroderma i.e. a doctor who is a professor at a medical school. If none in your city find one in the nearest city. https://med.emory.edu/departments/medicine/divisions/profile/?u=JWALTUC https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/8979-scleroderma-an-overview
