First:
What is MCTD?

Second, I was first diagnosed with both Reynauds & Fibtomyalgia 25+ years ago. I’ve since found out that in my case both are secondary syndromes directly related to my AI diseases: Lupus, Psoriatic RA, Peripheral Neuropathy, & others. Brain Fog is a big part of all of these. Also I was diagnosed with Bilateral Menieres Disease 16 years ago. The tinnitus, vomiting, severe vertigo, fatigue are all symptoms. I recommend that you see an ENT specialist & a Neurologist, besides a Rheumatologist. And always consider 2nd opinions

MCTD stands for mixed connective tissue disease. It is usually rare (but everything in AD is considered rare). After some years, symptoms of an individual disease can appear.
Have your doctors mentioned this to you? Are you concerned that you have it?
