Thanks for the welcome jeffn.
I have been having a hard time finding a board to visit on and I thought I would give this a try. I have Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) with overlapping Scleroderma, Lupus and RA. I tried a couple of MCTD sites, but had trouble understanding how the site worked. So, hope you guys don't mind if I stop in and visit.
I have been ill for over 20 years now and the aspects of scleroderma that have presented themselves are in my esophagus and lungs. I have about 33% lung capacity right now and am on oxygen 24/7. The esophagus problems have resulted in me having severe acid reflux which I treat with Nexium. I also have Raynaud's, fatigue, joint pains, depression/anxiety.
I thought I was done for until I heard about AP on another site and decided to give it a try. I found a doctor nearby who will see me and I am scheduled to visit him on March 22, 2010. I am looking forward to starting AP and getting well.
I look forward to "meeting" everyone.
Sharon
