I had a face to face appointment with a Dr today ( it wasn't my usual Dr) about my hands and wrists and she was really very good, she is sending me for blood tests as she thinks it might be rheumatoid arthritis . So I'm off for the blood test either tomorrow or Wednesday and then I have another appointment with her on the 25th. I hope this will get to the bottom of it as the pain in my hands is keeping me awake so I'm feeling very tired all the time. Xxx

Best of luck @Daphne

Bloods don't always come back positive for Rheumatoid factor, but if other 'inflammatory markers' are up you should get a referral to rheumatology.🤞
