Doctors Expect An Autimmune Or Connective Tissue Disorder, What Do I Do?
Have positive ANA, high MCH and high monocytes. All of which signify an autimmune disease and/or connective tissue disorder. Im scare out of my mind. I have pain in my fingers, ribs, neck, ankles, heels, and wrists. Weakness mainly in my legs after the stairs or walking around. I have stomach issues and really bad period cramps. Im scared, if it is a connective tissue thing or autoimmune thing itll get worse. Anyone else have similar symptoms? Any tips? Im 16 and scared out of my mind
Ask about monthly injections of an imunosuppressant. They help me a bit. You may need to try several to get relief
