Thank you so much! I’ve been the 2 rheumatologists. One in Huntsville, AL and one at Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN. Both said just because I had RNP levels of 8 doesn’t mean I’m sick. I’m tired all the time, I think I have essential tremor in my face, my joints hurt. They said I don’t have the visible symptoms of MCTD. My dentist said I have TMJ and that might be causing the tremor in my face. I gave up for years after two professions told me I’m fine. I have anxiety and panic attacks that nothing helps. I’ve been on propranolol for the panic attacks. I just feel weak and tired all the time and I shouldn’t feel this way in my 20s. I feel disconnected from my body and my movements. Like jerky movements and tic like movements sometimes. Anxiety definitely makes it worse but I don’t think that’s the cause. The rheumatologist told me have fibromyalgia and to exercise and eat well. I eat well and exercise daily. Nothing helps. I have perfect labs and im a healthy weight. The only thing that ever shows up is the RNP of 8
