I've had mixed connective tissue disease for ten years now, along with Behcet's, which is another autoimmune and fibromyalgia and Type 2 diabetes. My rheumatologist says my MCTD is "mostly lupus". It is a very scary diagnosis, but not a death sentence. Keep fighting for yourself, and discuss meds and treatments with your doctor, hopefully a good rheumatologist. It certainly makes life interesting. Breathe, ok? Hugs and prayers, Jen
