Does anyone have migratory arthritis? #UndifferentiatedConnectiveTissueDisease #MigratoryArthritis
I am now 73 and was diagnosed with UCTD about 3 years ago, but have had symptoms of extreme exhaustion, migratory arthritis and a very low WBC (1.8-2.0) since my late 30s. I’ve never met anyone like myself. I’ve been fortunate that one nightly Aleeve works like a miracle on this bizarre kind of arthritis, which can be excruciating and ean loss of use of the joint invovled for about 48 hours. I don’t mind it because it goes away. wMy doctor tried to treat the exhaustion with plaquenil, but I had an adverse reaction to it. I otherwise go untreated except Aleeve and prefer the symptoms I have to various strong meds. I do have scar tissue on my lungs, and work with a specialist at Cleveland Clinic for that (Interstitial Lung Disease), but the doctor said it’s to early to start steroids, much to my relief!
