Can you live a normal life with mctd ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often favorable: Generally the long-term outlook for people who have mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is favorable, but this mostly depends on the signs and symptoms which are present in each person. The overall 10-year survival rate with MCTD is about 80%. Some people have symptom-free periods which last for many years without treatment.
