One of my aunt's had it... I have fibromyalgia... both are autoimmune diseases. While I am not diabetic, I do have neuropathy in my hands and feet. One of my greatnieces now has scleroderma...

My Aunt Shirley was a hairdresser and first noticed that her hands would feel asleep. She would stop working and shake them to get the circulation going. Later, the skin on her cheeks got hard... oddly tho, her face went back to soft after a while - maybe it was the medication. She died of brain cancer, tho.

Thank God for good doctors and good meds! I hope your question was just rhetorical, and that you don't have it.
Hugs....
