Well, Now I'm Being Tested Because of Suspected RA [View all]

Woke up one morning and every joint in my body was either swollen, painful, or both. I've had MS for a long time, so i knew it wasn't that.

Several tests later and nearly everything else had been ruled out. (At least as far as they can rule things out.)

Now i had a new blood test specific to RA.

On anti-inflammatories right now, but i know that's not a long term solution.

MS for 17+ years and how this. Man, i can't catch a break.
