What is Mixed Connective Tissue Disease?

Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. Risk factors include family history of connective tissue disease and exposure to certain viruses or chemicals. It's most common in women in their 20s and 30s, but children may also be affected.

Typical Symptoms of Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

Diagnostic Questions for Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do your fingers and toes turn from pale blue to purplish-red color in the cold?
  • Do you have pain in your upper jaw?
  • Do you have facial pain?
  • Are your joints hot?
  • Is your skin getting harder from fingertip to back of your hand?

Treatment of Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

There is no cure for mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). However, disease progression and symptoms can be controlled with medication to suppress the immune cells and block inflammation.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
