Second, last week I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.
It is a mixture of lupus, polymyocitis, schleraderma and Raynaulds. I have other kinds of arthritis, ect., all autoimmune problems. With MCTD, you have some symptoms of them all. In time, one may come to the forefront, but right now, it's like a cocktail of autoimmune problems. It's not fun. You do feel like you have the flu when the rash hits and you run a fever.

First, are you taking a med in the lamictal family?

Yeah - I forgot about that one (the MCTD) - Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.

I just read about that the other night so I have not talked to my doctor about it yet....... but my GP - Dermatologist - Rheumatologist all know about this problem and they are trying to figure it out..... my GP even sent me to see a Neurologist when I started to experience numbness and pain - the head area and nerves were all given the big O.K.

And YES..... as stated some where in one of my other post - I do feel as though I have the flu and some times I run a low grade fever - never over 100*.

I am not on Lamictal itself and I do not think I am on any of its family meds..... is there a list that I could look some where on the Internet to see if I am?

LoVe,
