I was diagnosed with MCTD last year although sick for many years. What medicines do you take?

I had flare ups off and on for over 40 years. No one connected the dots until I was 56 years old. It hit me like a truck. Full body involvement. My doctor hit it hard with Plaquenil, prednisone and methotrexate. Later Cymbalta was added. Right now I’m in a flare. I spent a week with my little grandsons. Precious time with them. 💜🦋

Hello!
Currently I am stable. I take prednisone and cell crept. I’m also diabetic. Steroid induced, they tell me. I take Metformin and Ozempic for that.
