Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect @artoffersspace ! Have you had MCTD for a while? Have you asked your doctor about any medicine that would lessen the fatigue? I was prescribed one when I was first diagnosed with a different AD, but I just couldn't take one more pill!
I like your pseudonym—are you an artist?
When will you see your doctor next? Would it be a problem to talk with them about your fatigue and medications? How do you think they would respond?

Thank you for checking in. I am on medications. They do help a great deal but I also have some really bad nights and days. This is a painful disease. In my case it, so far, my immune system really goes after my spinal cord, muscles and nerves. It's really changed my life.
