Does nyone else have this diagnosis? I'm telling you, everytime I see a new Dr they give me another dx, I'm really struggling with all the different dx! How can one person have so many different dx......I hope somedaybthey can figure it all out, it seems that UCTD is sort of like fibro its partof Rhrumetyology. Oh , also has anyone elses Rhum told them that Fibro is a nueo disease not Rhumuetology?
Undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) is a systemic autoimmune disease. This means the body's natural immune system does not behave normally. Instead of serving to fight infections such as bacteria and viruses, the body's own immune system attacks itself. In UCTD, autoimmunity may cause the immune system to attack specific parts of the body resulting in a variety of problems.
The phrase "connective tissue disease" is used to describe the diseases of the immune system that are treated primarily by rheumatologists.
i was reading about this so i just copied and pasted that above. Over 20 years ago when an immunologist who was a cfids(cfs) specialist diagnosed me with severe case of cfids she in part defined what was going on with me like that.I wish i had more that i could tell you but i dont at the moment.

Thank you both so much for the info! I saw this particular r u he my 2 years ago, my present one retired so I went back to this one., He told me that I can have many different diagnosis at the same time. My old r u he my said fibro was rhumetologist related now the new one says no way it’s nuero, but either way I’m CoVerded. But again, thanks for the info, gentle hugs to you both!
