Hello Ma’am, MCTD is an autoimmune disease along with myasthenia Gravis. This needs to be evaluated properly by a physician with physical examination. I suggest you visit an expert Ayurvedic consultant with all your reports for a proper management. Although autoimmune in nature Ayurveda can definitely help reduce the pain and improve skin health.

Managing Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) along with Myasthenia Gravis in Ayurveda involves addressing the underlying imbalances in the body, particularly with Vata and Pitta doshas, which can contribute to symptoms like pain and skin rashes. To support your health, consider incorporating Ashwagandha and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) for their immunomodulatory properties, which may help strengthen your immune system and reduce inflammation. Shatavari can also be beneficial for overall vitality and nourishment.
For skin rashes, applying Kumkumadi oil or Chandanadi oil can soothe irritation and promote healing. A gentle detoxification approach with Triphala can help cleanse the body of toxins (Ama) and support digestive health, which is crucial in autoimmune conditions. Maintaining a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, such as turmeric, ginger, leafy greens, and healthy fats, while avoiding processed and spicy foods, can also be beneficial.
Gentle practices like yoga and Pranayama can enhance relaxation and improve muscle strength, which is particularly important for managing Myasthenia Gravis symptoms. Regular Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm oil can relieve pain and enhance circulation.

Dealing with MCTD and myasthenia gravis sounds really challenging. These conditions can overlap in causing a lot of discomfort, so let's see how Ayurveda can lend a helping hand here.
Firstly, your conditions may indicate an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas. The pain likely stems from excess Vata and the skin issues could be from Pitta gone a bit haywire. It's essential to keep these doshas in check. Let me walk you through some ideas.
Try starting your day with warm water sipped slowly, like a calming ritual. Warm fluids help pacify Vata and improve digestion. For meals, consider favoring warm, cooked foods. Think soupy, a little oily, and mildly spiced. Ginger, cumin, and turmeric are good additions.
Now, skin rash – applying a gentle paste of sandalwood and rose water might soothe the irritation. It's cooling and calming.
For the pain, regular oil massages can work wonders (abhyanga). You might use sesame oil if it's colder, or coconut oil if it's hot. Do it in the morning before your bath, let the oil sit for 15 mins or so. And always stay out of drafts afterwards.
Meditation or breathing exercises (pranayama) can help in calming the mind – less stress can mean fewer flare-ups, right? Start with a few minutes a day, build up as it feels good.
As a heads up, any herbs or new treatments you consider should be discussed with your current healthcare provider to make sure they don’t interfere with your treatments – safety first always.
Lastly, remember listening to your body is key. Some days will be harder than others but take small steps, and it'll make a difference. चीज़ें धीरे-धीरे बेहतर होंगी (Things will slowly get better).
If things ever feel unmanageable or worsen hasty, seeking direct medical attention is the necessary path. Let your instincts guide you.
