Strange Symptoms
Hi everyone,
Im currently waiting for blood results on a CRP, ESR, CCP and RF to see if I have Rheumatoid arthritis. This is the second time I’ve had blood tests over the past 3 years.
The first time they done blood tests the doctors only done CRP and ESR. This was done mainly due to Episcleritis and an Opthomologist requesting it. At the same time I was suffering with breathlessness, inflamed sinuses, burning in both of my knees and feet and feeling generally run down and unwell.
Since then I’ve had a slipped disc in my back, a frozen shoulder on my left side and soon after tennis elbow on my right as well as the above symptoms.
Ive tried to read up as much as I can and I can’t really find a lot on breathlessness or any of the odd symptoms I have had and the majority of ra seems to start in the hands or feet with pain.
i just really wanted to know if anyone had experienced anything similar? Thankyou for reading and sorry for the long post.

Hi there, they're still trying to work out what I have, but it looks most likely to be RA for me.
My pain started in my knees, and my ankles. I've always assumed this is because I'm fat and therefore this is where the pressure is? I haven't personally suffered from much breathlessness however.
I don't know if this is helpful?
