I have MS, but doesn't affect sensation in the hands.
But, I knew a guy whose wife had scleroderma who had to quit knitting & embroidery because she couldn't feel the needles in her hands anymore.
I believe treatment helped some, but that was years ago. (20 or 30?) So, I don't know that I'm remembering that correctly.
