Hi Connie,
Just a bit of advice from a newly diagnosed Lupus patient - research and read up as much as you can on mixed connective tissue disease and Lupus. Once you have all the facts Im sure that you will feel more positive. Yes intially it can all look a bit scary but if you read further you will discover that it is by no means a death sentence.
Ive got a long way to go with learning about Lupus but have learnt so much through this site and the various links that it offers. Ive read nearly every post on this site and asked questions when I havent been able to find the answers.
