20 f. I was recently diagnosed r/t ana 1:1280 centromere pattern, severe joint pain, facial flushing, extreme fatigue. All my sub-serological workup were negative so I got a UCTD dx. I am now disabled and can barely work part time, I am really struggling. I read that UCTD typically has a mild clinical course but I am scared that if this is mild what the hell is severe. I started plaquenil a week ago, currently take 200mg celebrex bid, 650 ER Tylenol bid, am currently on a Prednisone dose pak and got a toradol shot a few days ago. I'm starting physical therapy and see my rheum in 3 months. Can anyone shed some light or offer any advice?
