MCTD Support Group
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) or Sharp's syndrome is a human autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body. MCTD combines features of polymyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic scleroderma and is thus considered an overlap syndrome. MCTD commonly causes joint pain/swelling, Raynaud phenomenon, muscle inflammation, and scarring of...
The therapist thinks it is bursitis in my hip but gave me some exercises to start. We will see if it helps.
Had to pick up the Girl Scout Cookies today. Hope it doesnt rain for our first cookie booth. We have a Walmart to sell at this year. Hope that will help our sales.
My girl has her trans esopogeal echo tomorrow. I hope this comes out all right. Probably wont sleep tonight.
Had a very busy weekend. First the Girl Scout Thinking Day celebration. I co ordinated that. Then a church choir dinner I set up. Too tired now.
Hope everyone has a good day.

I hope everyone is doing ok. Haven't been on in awhile, but think of you all often! Had some family staying with us for the past 10 days, we had a good visit. It was nice to have some extra hands around to help with the kiddies! :) . MT -- We pick up our girlscout cookies tomorrow. We will also be boothing. Our location is a craft store but it's next to a Target so hopefully will be a good spot. We were in front of a Walmart last year and did really well! I hope your sales go well & kids have fun. Hope the exercises help the hip. What is bursitis, exactly? My son is going through a problem with his hip recently. (He's 4 yrs). They think he may have a disease that affects the hip, but one that can cure - sometimes with therapy or a brace, sometimes on it's own. A condition with lots of variables & differs person to person. He seems to get this recurring limp. Will see the orthopediest next week. Hoping for the best. Good luck to you & your daughter tomorrow, I'll say a prayer :).
Dallas, how are you feeling? A bit better, I hope. How is the pup? Is it warming up there, yet? My mother-in-law left NJ and came here to California to try to get away from the winter, but got here & it was chilly (mostly in the 50s) and rainy for the past week! Not bad at all for us, really, but I think she was hoping for 80 degrees & sunny! Oh well - maybe next time :). Hope things are ok for you all around!
Hope everyone out there is doing ok. I'll read some past posts to see what I've missed....
Have a good day -
