I am one of those people who thought that illness only happend to others. I have a terrific husband and two wonderful teenagers. I am a lawyer in private practice for 18 years. I worked very hard and cared a great deal about my clients. I was diagnosed with MCTD in early 2007 and have been off work since then. Although they were very bad at first, my symptoms seem to be under control. The disease has affected my lungs and heart and I am scheduled to start chemo soon. I am scared!

Hi, my name is Terilyn. Recently I was diagnosed with MCTD and I too, am very scared regarding my symptoms and the "what if's..." I had a very busy high profile career and due to my health in this problem, I stepped away from all to figure out how to help my concerns. How are you doing now? Regards, Terilyn
I just joined Daily Strength today. I have MCTD (diagnosed in early 2007). I was a very active wife, mom, lawyer, partner in my law firm, practising for over 18 years. At first, the disease took over my entire body and causes damage to my lungs and heart. With medication, the symptoms are mainly under control but the didease has resisted treatment so far. My lungs continue to deteriorate, although not at an alarming rate..so far! I start chemotherapy soon. I am scared!
