What Is Mixed Connective Tissue Disease?

Updated

What is Mixed Connective Tissue Disease? What medications are prescribed for it? Could this be the cause of severe low back pain? My Dr. doesn't believe in fibromyalgia but I have been diagnosed with this going on 12 years. I am taking Cymbalta, and Ultram for the fibromyalgia. My Dr. prescribed plaquenil but honestly I cannot tell I am taking anything. And since he prescribed the plaquenil he cut my dosage of Ultram from 100mg 4 times a day to 3 times a day. I quit taking the plaquenil because it keeps me awake at night, even though I take trazadone and clorazapam for sleep. I have had to add 2 benedryl with that to stay asleep. Can anyone offer me some advise?

It's also called Sharp's Syndrome, it's an autoimmune disease.

The prognosis usually isn't good for long-term survival, so I am wondering what type of doctor you've been seeing?

This may not be an accurate diagnosis.

I don't have a clue what you have or anything about these disorder you are talking about, but one thing you might look into is mitochondrial disease, not many doctor knows much about this, if you think that this fits you , you can on line and find some help thru websites for mitochondrial disease, that's what I have done , still waiting on test results a slow process
