Hi everyone,
so I went to a new rheumatologist today who was so helpful and thorough and actually listened to what I had to say. She said I have MCTD and that first I needed to take vit D supplements (I am deficient) and then after taking the vitamins for a while she would start me on Plaquenil. I have been to two other rheumatologist and they said all I had was fibromyalgia. So my question is can I truly have this MCTD that my doctor thinks I have. I did have a positive ANA titer but the tests for lupus and Sjorens came back negative. She does not want to do any more testing (bloodwork )at least not now . She did a full exam in her office with me today and physically looked and touched my arms legs etc.. so I wanted to know is this a likely diagnosis and now can I rest knowing what is wrong, or is it probably a mis diagnosis? Thanks so much.
