Question:
Need site to go to on mixed connective tissue disease rheumy says she is leaning toward lupus diagnosis but right now MCTD. Always something to check out because of the criteria for diagnosing lupus. — JANERS — SOMEDAYS ARE DIAMONDS, SOMEDAYS ARE STONES!!!
Response:
If you’re looking for more information specifically on MCTD, you could do a websearch. I have to tell you though that pretty much everything that applies to lupus also applies to MCTD. As I understand it, MCTD is a crossover disorder which includes symptoms of lupus plus symptoms of another connective tissue disease such as Scleroderma. There are and have been others participating in this newsgroup who have MCTD. Unfortunately, once you have one autoimmune disease, you’re automatically at higher risk for another. Sandra
