OA or MCTD and Fibromyalgia

Does anyone else have these? If so, what are you taking? It seems I take something for several months and then it either quits working or I develop a side effect. But rheumy says I don’t have RA. Thanks for any replies.

I have MCTD, it depends on which organ that's affected, I'm usually put on high dose steriods (40mg) for ages and then taper down very slowly. My rheumy is trying this time without steroids, I'm on hydroxy now which is very slow to work but I will keep trying to take it as I don't want steriods again. This disease is attacking different parts of my body, I never know whereI it's going. Are you on any meds yet?
