Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)
I was so surprised that I have MCTD. My Dr. told me 5 years ago I had this disease. He then left the practice and the new Doctor said"those tests come up with a false result all the time"
He would not retest me. I developed Raynaud's this year big time! My new Doctor said yes you have MCTD, so I have been looking up information on this since.
