I am new here, so I apologize if this isn't the right place to be.
Is there anyone here that has this condition? I did a search on UCTD and fibromyalgia and found this site. I'm feeling a bit confused about all this since I seem to have many symptoms of lupus, but neg ANA and other tests. I was called by my rheumy today telling me all the tests were negative and that we would discuss it when I see him again next week, but that he would be treating me for UCTD. He's already treating me for Fibromyalgia with cyclobenzaprine, but it doesn't seem to be helping as of yet.
I just want to find someone who is going through the same thing I am, so I thought I'd try here. I've had 2 different rheumies tell me, upon first glance and history, that I have lupus only to have them say no it's not after the tests come back.
I hurt, I have fluid around my heart, lungs, and in my abdomen, I've had many surgeries in the past 6 years and, according to my new rheumy, I have something autoimmune going on in my intestines. If I have so many symptoms (I didn't list them all) and other autoimmune things -- I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as well -- why are all these tests turning up negative?
Oh, if this isn't the place for me to be, can someone direct me to a message board for UCTD people? Thank you.
