Suggest Treatment For Connective Tissue Disease
I am a 39 year old recently healthy woman. I have seen 2 rheumatologists over the past year and both agree that there is "100%" chance that I have a connective tissue disease based on the physical exams alone. My nailfold/cuticle areas on all fingers are consistently puffy and red. Steady edema in my hands and feet. If my fingers become too cold, I feel ill afterwards. The Nailfold Capillaroscopy showed "significant capillary drop-out" according to my rheumatologist. My labwork shows negative RF, normal sed rates, etc., and only abnormal results were 2 subsets of (IgG) immunoglogulin deficiencies. Occult blood (+1) was found in the urine as well as presence of RBC (results: 4-10) An antinuclear antibody was detected in the ANCA screen (w/ reflex to titer) test, but the follow-up test (indirect immunofluorescence on Hep2 cells) was negative. I have had every known test for the major auto-immune diseases. All negative.
