Asthma is the most common symptom of this condition. Other symptoms can be fever, gastrointestinal bleeding, and severe numbing and pain in both hands and feet. This condition is occurs when the immune system overreacts and targets healthy tissue.
2. Cellulitis: is a common, potentially serious bacterial skin infection. This skin infection is caused by bacteria slipping into a cut or break in the skin. It can also happen to people without breaks in the skin but have diabetes or a weak immune system. It's symptoms are swollen and red areas of skin that feel hot and tender and may spread rapidly. Skin on lower legs is most commonly affected.
3. Mixed Connective Tissue Disease: is an uncommon autoimmune disorder that causes overlapping features of 3 connective tissue diseases- lupus, polymyositis, scleroderma. Symptoms include fatigue, joint swelling, swollen hands and puffy fingers, muscle pain and joint pain.
