We've just published a brand new factsheet for MCTD. You can read it here - lupusuk.org.uk/images/pdf/l...

If you need a physical copy, please send me a private message, or email paul@lupusuk.org.uk with your name and address.

Brilliant informative leaflet. I have downloaded it as it describes me perfectly except for the vasculitis I have. Starting to realise that I seem to be progressing more to scleroderma than lupus.

Thanks for this - I am still unclear of a diagnosis but being treated anyway and I now see that it's a lot more complicated!

Thank you for posting the leaflet. My Lupus diagnosis was recently changed to MCTD. ALthough, I read loads on Lupus, I haven't really looked at MCTD (because I knew there were similar symptoms). Now more informed :)

Do you still have a MCTD factsheet available to download? I've been to the link but it's now a 404 'page not found' webpage. Thanks.

Hi Spicer21 , yes we do, but we launched a new website last year which is why the link is broken. You can now download and view it at lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Thanks very much, Paul; it's very informative and probably fits with my symptoms more than a diagnosis of lupus.
