I also have UCTD but with positive Tif-gamma antibodies for dermatomyositis and early on I was diagnosed with AxSpa and PsA. I have too many symptoms now and don’t nearly fit into any one box so I’m now UCTD.

I had multiple bouts of Covid back to back that led to a DVT in my right leg. My rheumatologist ordered a lung scan to make sure there wasn’t a PE. That’s when the nodules were found. They’re now calcified so my pulmonologist and rheumatologist believe they were an inflammatory response to Covid. If you’ve had any kind of respiratory infection the nodules can be an inflammatory response.

My pulmonologist also believed them to be benign, so we just kept repeating the scans on a regular basis to keep an eye on them and now I just do the CT scan annually.

My husband has multiple nodules including nodules in his lymph glands which was alarming at first - turns out he has autoimmune sarcoidosis and is now on one of my meds … methotrexate. Hoping that some of those nodules will have shrunk or disappeared by the next scan.

How elevated is the RNP? Any rash?
