@drjuhikmdphd: Replying to @Bohica33 what is undifferentiated connective tissue disease? It’s not lupus, scleroderma or sjogren’s - it’s its own disease! in this video I discuss the what UCTD is, symptoms and labs associated with UCTD as well as possible outcomes. Please send along any questions you have! #autoimmunedisease #connectivetissuedisorder #inflammation #rheumatology
Is it normal of you get diagnosed with uctd to be put on plaquenil?

I have uctd. I have symptoms of lupus. arthritis, and sjogrens. rheumatologist told me its like there is a glitch in my immune system and this may be as bad as it will get or my test may turn positive one day. regardless, it sucks.

I was diagnosed with UTCD, I was given medication for lupus, never took the medication because I was afraid. I get severe joint pains and fatigue when my inflammation levels are elevated. Only medication that lets me is steroids. I don’t like taking it because I gain weight. I recently traveled and I one of the worst episodes I was unable to walk or get out of bed. Pain in my lower joints. I was thinking maybe the weather change had something to do with it .Thinking it’s time to go back to see my dr

I’m going through this type of scenario. But I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I’ve seen several specialists and they’re confused by these symptoms that appear to be autoimmune, and they’re fairly new to my list of usual symptoms of EDS.

I got Diagnosed today with UCTD. I saw my rheumatologist originally about 7 weeks ago for the first time. So I got diagnosed pretty quickly. I have bilateral shoulder tendonisis, bilateral groin pain, bilateral pain in my hands from holding my phone or using the mouse to work. Newest member is pain in the ankle in the front part. I feel like I’m suffering from repetitive injury. No rashes, just physical pain. Will planequil help with the tendon pain?? 😭😭

Thank you for this! It’s very insightful, but what if you have ongoing symptoms and flares, even if labs are normal? 🤔
