Hi I did review your concern.
Connective tissue disorders are a group of disorders that are due to autoimmunity in which our body immune cells like Wbcs responds in a harmful way to our own other normal body cells. It can be Systemic lupus erythematous, systemic sclerosis,sjogren syndrome, depending on organ systems involved and also on etiology and antibodies produced. There are various serum tests used for diagnosis.
There is treatment available in form of steroids or immunomodulators. The treatment is to prevent progression of disease and unfortunately it cannot be cured , but many people live with steroids or immunomodulators for years without much problem.
My advice would be to consult a Rheumatologist and get the condition properly diagnosed and get treated according to the exact diagnosis. Long term regimen and compliance to medication does helps.
I hope this helps.
wish you all the best.
