Hi,
Sorry to hear about her disease. She looks to have mixed connective tissue disease. Generally, it is the domain of a rheumatologist to see such patients. You can see a rheumatologist for proper assessment and management.
Hope I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further question about this.

Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
