Hi Cary,
You have come to the right place, The Road Back! My disease MCTD started in 2007. I am in full remission but I have to stay on AP obviously all my life. I have been searching for an AP doctor in the Denver vicinity for 10 years. I visited a doctor in Greenwood Village. He might have been able to help me but he was searching for the cause, to the amount of $4047, and I’m in remission. There are several real AP doctors but they aren’t nearby.
I’m hoping you’ve been successful in starting on antibiotics. It’s the only way. I’m a patient at Kaiser and my doctor is happy to listen to me and she has had many good suggestions regarding my problems. She sent me to the rheumatologist once, I hoped I could make some headway but it was useless.
I suggest that you read and study the Roadback Book a few times and keep coming to this web site with your questions.
Carol
