COVID seemed to lead into CREST (in my case). 8/25/2022-present. Latest Labs show: elevated BUN, High WBC count (along with high Neutrophils, Monocytes, and "Immature Abs Granulocytes". Been taking Prednisone, but Rheumatologist wants to start me on Humira injections. Other symptoms: fatigue, irregular sleep habits, lung nodules, arthritis of hands, spine, and Sacroiliac Joints. Obvious Scleroderma with Reynaud's of hands and feet. Internal calcifications, blurry vision, some difficulty swallowing, but GERD is minimal. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm surgery in Feb, 2023. Any thoughts?
