Hi everyone. I was just diagnosed w/UCTD and am new to Daily Strength. I just wanted to make sure that it is okay to ask questions and seek support here at the MCTD group. The diagnosis has been SUCH A LONG TIME coming that it was actually completely unexpected, so when my rheummy actually said it, I sort of blacked out and didn't ask any questions. I was by myself because my husband was out of town, so he has a ton of questions, I have no answers and my next appt is not until September. My dr. is booked until then. We are going to see my GP (who is fantastic and is cc'd by my rheummy on all his reports) next week, so hopefully we will get more info. Sorry, that was a stream of consciousness type of run on paragraph. My point is, I have found out that there is a difference between UCTD and MCTD (still not sure what it is) and I want to make sure it's okay that I join this support group because I couldn't find a UCTD group.
THANKS! Posted on 05/13/08, 12:05 pm |
