MCTD: You mentioned you have scleroderma and SLE. You need to be seen by a lung doc if you have not seen one already. You conditions need a multi disciplinary approach with a rheumatologist/ pulmonary doc/ and a cardiologist. Most large teaching hospital have docs that have exp with such complex issues and may be your best bet. Best of luck.

SLE/PF/1 PUL HTN: Very complex TRIAD of diseases. You need a University Setting Robert Wood Johnson//Cornel/Columbia. Evaluation for newer treatment modalities like Lung Transplantation/STEM CELL/PRP. You need top Rheum/Pulm/Card consults. Also check NIH WEBSITE FOR CLINICAL TRIALS
