Comment on Living with AutoImmune Diseases by Madison.
I was first diagnosed with MCTD and a little over a year later another doctor said it wasn’t MCTD but fibromyalgia. I have had a hysterectomy and now the doctors are talking about surgery on the veins in my legs but no knowledge of what is causing the issues. I wake up and my face is puffy, my body is stiff and I ache all over. Joint pain and swelling in my hands and feet, my hips feel like they are being pulled out of their sockets ( almost like spreading in pregnancy ) I have red blotches on my chest that gets worse when I’m active or in the sun. I’m tired all day yet can’t sleep at night or during the day for that matter. Brain fog and memory loss as well as sensitivity to multiple sounds at once. I’m sure there is more but that is what I’ve been dealing with the past two weeks.
