Hi, I am so glad to have found this support group! I was diagnosed with MCTD after a lengthy bout with Covid in January 2022. My PCP has been a godsend, when 4 months after Covid I was still having weird pain he ran an ANA panel and it showed high RNP along with scheloderma crest syndrome. So far it’s affecting my mobility. On bad days walking can be difficult, I use trekking poles instead of a cane because they keep me upright. I’m currently taking meloxicam for inflammation along with b12, folate, vitaminD. I can’t take steroids because they negatively affect my heart. Overall I’m happy to be able to move, I did retire from teaching as I was having a rough time keeping up with my preschoolers. It’s good to know I’m not alone!
