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.

Mary Ann - laughter is the best medicine. I'm glad you and your family had such a good time. Maybe if you have to do a little wiggle while at work, you'll have the whole office feeling better too!! :)
I'm still worn out from the procedure. Egg is no longer in my throat, but the fatigue is terrible. I have to make it to Sam's Club for groceries TODAY. Unfortunately, it's about an hour away. Usually I'd listen to music I can sing along with, but my little kids will want to watch a movie on such a long trip. Oh well. Maybe I can sing along to the movie!!! LOL

Hugs and wishing you all wonderful Fridays.. sorry this is short... xoxox
We had a room right on the beach at the lake. It was beautiful!! So good for the soul. I absolutely love mountains and lakes. I grew up around them. We used to go camping a lot. My hubby is a city-guy, so he didn't do much camping. He wants, however, to get a camp-trailer to pull behind our Chevy truck and then sell both of them for a motorhome and travel after he retires. With the economy the way it is, I guess we'll see what happens. He is only 49 and has 20 years in with the State. Our son will graduate high school in June and hubby will turn 50 in June too, so we'll see what options are available then I guess, lol. It sure sounds like fun though. I also wonder if I'd be able to handle all of that travelling. Ok, enough about that, lol.
Mary Ann - My hubby (John) and I saw Mama Mia and loved it! We came home and put the CD in the player the very next morning and were singing along to it, lol!! Brought back great memories! I want to go see Nights in Rodanthe (sp?) this weekend. I'm convincing John that he needs to take me to it because it is our anniversary and it is romantic, lol! I just watched Sex and the City on Wednesday and thought it was great! Have you seen it? We love movies. We watch 2 a week, if not more, lol.
Jenn - I have had that procedure also. I remember having a sore throat and it feeling swollen for a couple of days. I also woke up while they were pulling it out, eeeek! No fun! I'm glad the egg feeling is better. That could drive you nuts! Try to take it easy, I know it is hard to do with kids and shopping! Come home and treat yourself to a bubble bath or something! LOL!
Marilyn, I love your pic, she is so cute! I sure hope the pain eases up for you soon. How is that little puppy doing? And how about Dallas? Give them both huggies from me, ok?
Melissa, I love your pic too. You look like such a nice person and very pretty too! Makes me feel like I've known you before ... hmmm. LOL! Sorry you are having cramps. I was getting them too off and on and they sure can be painful!! I had never had them in my ankles before! OUCH!
Cat - Sure sorry to hear about all that you are going through with your mom. That can drain a person, that is for sure. You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm also concerned about Josee ... any news yet?
Well, this is definitely long enough, lol. So, happy Friday everyone!
Hugs!
