BIG thanks to DocJohn for adding an Autoimmune forum.
 Hello to the other autoimmune folks... I'm Liz (30-something, female, married, no kids, 3 cats) with a Dx of UCTD - Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease. Big mouthfull of words meaning it's something autoimune and it's something wrong with your connective tissue, but we don't know exactly what it is, so we'll just give you a big mouthful of words as your diagnosis. I also have a few of the so-called "minor" autoimmune problems... Sicca syndrome, Raynauds, etc... To top everything off is fibromyalgia, chronic myofascial pain, anxiety, hypermobility with chronic tendon injuries, TMJ, endometriosis, blah, blah, blah, etc.... Persoanlly, I think there is a bigger picture - one main medical issue that has yet to be diagnosed that will explain why I have so many diagnoses. I think all my current diagnoses are all meant to explain symptoms, not a diagnosis that will explain the problem.... and without knowing the big picture diagnosis I am stuck treating symptoms instead of treating the source. So that's me in a nutshell. Anyone else care to introduce themselves? Liz
