I need answers on an autoimmune disease called mixed connective tissue disorder?


I have been diagnosed with this auto immune disease and I have no clue what to do. Is there anyone out there that is going through what I am. Please give me advice on how to deal with it.

I hope this site is of some use to you.

I do not have that separate diagnosis, but do have it as a part of an autoimmune disease. I have Antiphospholipid Syndrome and I do know others with this dual diagnosis.
Best wishes to you.

dont know much about it,,,was told i had a connective tissue disorder when i was a senior in high school...i needed to have a shoulder rebuilt due to chronic dislocation.....i can dislocate my shoulders on demand. i have other issues (back, arthritis, fibromyalgia) that they say could also be associated with it

It may be possible that it is actually a rare condition called Relapsing Polychondritis, broken down actually means an inflammation of many cartilidges, but it also affects many other systems in the body. I suffered with this for more than 5 years before being properly diagnosed. It is an autoimmune condition that can involve many sub conditions. There is more information on the web about it. I hope this helps.
:D
