RA and Connective Tissue Disorders

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

I went to the Rheumy this evening to talk about pregnancy and found

out that I might have a connective tissue disorder instead of RA, or a

combination of the two. The Rheumy could not give me a specific CT

disorder, but said that the " blanching " that I have been getting on my

fingers and toes are an indicator of a CT disorder. Does anyone have

a connective tissue disorder? Do you experience " blanching " the loss

of color and blood flow in fingers and toes? Now I am confused b/c i

thought I knew what I had since the Dr. said that I had RA without a

doubt, but now she is telling me that I might have something else!

Grrrr...this is frustrating!!!
