@boconn89, I'd like to add my welcome along with @drigg97.

As you likely already know, Raynaud's affects most people who have mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and frequently is the first appearance of the disease. Allow me to bring in a few other members like @renm @irish283 @jennifer2010 @grandmar who also have mixed connective tissue disorder and related autoimmune conditions.

I'm glad you're in the care of a rheumatologist. Besides Gabapentin, what is your treatment plan?

Thanks so much for your reply and your welcome. As far as autoimmune treatment gabapentin is the only thing my rheumatologist has started me on. Outside of that I am taking prozac for depression and trazodone for insomnia. But with the gaba I feel like it makes my fatigue and brain for much worse. Has anyone else experienced this?
