Hello, another new member!
Hello, I am still in a diagnostic phase but given the number of swollen joints I have, pain and fatigue it is likely i have RA. It all kicked off in November last year then seemed to go away but is now back and seems intent on staying.
I seem to get a new symptoms every few days. The most recent being dry eyes. I have have had to have quite alot of sick time over the last 5 months. I'm sure my boss thinks I am flakey. I can manage the pain even tho' it makes me slow and limpy. It's the fatigue that really knocks me down.
Does anybody else think that the probable cause is years of stress?
