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.

Good morning!
Good Super Bowl game last night. The party was pretty good. My daughter came over to make wedding plans and we took her and the fiance to the party. Not many plans were discussed.
Taking one of my twins to the cardiologist today. After I go to the school and sign a paper for a test she is taking tomorrow. Run, run, run!
This is all too much for me. Have to teach those girls how to drive!
Have a good day!

Haven't posted in a bit, too busy with schoolwork and haven't been feeling well cognitively. Last night was terrible... I was over at Mike's and I just couldn't think straight... I could follow the game for a few minutes, and then lose it totally. Drove home sober but scared because I didn't feel alert. Reading comprehension is very difficult, though I have aced two tests and got a good response to another classroom exercise, and a good evaluation on a reflection paper.
It is taking so long, though. And I feel so slow. And the leg is bothering me a bit.
One of my friends who works with my client called on Saturday, and that picked me up a lot. He was like, "We should have called you! We had a terrible job that I know you could have gotten done in half the time!" Nice of him to say so, anyhow, so maybe there will be some work soon.
MT, if you teach the kids to drive, be RIGOROUS and be HARDER than any school driving instructor. When my mom taught me to drive, she barely paid attention, and I almost killed us all on a trip to Canada. After dad taught me, I didn't have an accident for over a quarter century-- and he was much tougher than any school driving instructor! What a drill sergeant!
Jacqui, glad you are enjoying the snow! I would love to see England in the snow... didn't it used to snow more in England during the 60s and 70s? Aren't there lots of paintings of London covered in snow, or am I confusing that with something else?
Anyway, hope you are staying nice and warm. I am also having trouble keeping weight on... I lost about eight pounds from where I should be, and I put back on three this weekend, but I just had to gorge myself to do it, almost made myself sick.
Best,

I feel so sorry for my little girl. She is 17 and has had too many surgeries and illnesses in her life. I am also worried she will lose her insurance after HS as I dont think she will go to school and her Dads insurance only covers if she goes to school. I guess I have another year to obsess about this. No wonder I dont sleep!
Got to say the snow was beautiful.
