I tested positive for ctd, I just don't know what I have. The doc wants me to have more blood test and a brain scan. I don't have insurance. I am worried about paying for the test, I don't think I'm going to die from what ever it is that I have, although I'm not real educated on all of this....I know I have fibro (self diagnosed), what are your opinions?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
There's a lot of info on the net about it.
Basically, I have pain in all my joints. My feet, hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, and my hands bad. It feels like someone is drilling into them with a drill bit, or trying to twist my joints apart like a chicken leg from a thigh. It's pretty painful. Sometimes I wake up in the mornings, and feels like a truck parked on top of my hands.
You have to take a couple of meds for this, to keep it from turning into lupus or RA. If you don't, it will progress. Just do your research, and you do have to do what your doc says hon.
My CTD causes me more pain than my fibro. It's bad, I'm sorry that you've been dx'd with it.
