I have mixed connective tissue disease. are new beau's lines on my nails an indication of active disease?

On all your nails?: are the lines on all your nails, hands, feet? Beau's lines are a very general sign of stress or illness

Their is no ..: Relationship between MCTD and the Beau's Lines in my years of practice. They can look like ridging from psoriasis, and this must be distinguished. Any significant illness can cause them, but MCTD rarely, rarely would be so severe! PS: You are on no meds for MCTD!
