UCTD Diagnosis
Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed a week and a half ago after eight months of trying to figure out what's wrong with me.
The rheumatologist looked at my fingers with a microscope and immediately knew I had an autoimmune disease. He said I have UCTD unless one of the tests pop back with something more specific. The tests didn't.
He put me on hydroxychloroquine and now I'm here.
I suffer from anxiety that can drive up my blood pressure and/or heart rate. Although since being on the medicine it seems to have mellowed out.
I'm also more commonly dealing with fatigue, weakness, and paresthesia. I used to have head pressure but that seems to have gone away. Brain fog nearly all the time trying to remember what I'm doing at my job or at home.
I also have an enlarged spleen and scarred liver but not sure if that's related or not.
Anyways I can't wait for my meds to actually kick in so I can start feeling an ounce like myself again. Or at least have more good days than bad.
I had some friends with autoimmune diseases and have been able to lean on them for support so I'm lucky there.
Just checking to see if anyone has a similar set of symptoms with UCTD.
