Has anyone been diagnosed with nodular densities in the lungs

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone -

I been in a really bad flare up for a while now due to stress and the

weather. I went to my PCP for extreme fatigue, weakness, and

swelling in my legs, ankles, feet, and hands. He did a full CBC

panel and chest x-rays to be sure it wasn't something other than my

RA.

All my bloodwork came by good (yay!), and he said he felt it was my

RA and to go to my rheumy. Then I get a call from PCP nurse, saying

that my chest X-rays show nodular densities. Not to worry, but he

wants to repeat my x-rays again in 3 months.

I know RA is a full body disease and I've had it for almost 13 years

now. And my rheumy has classified me as moderate RA. I take

prednisone, plaquenil and humira (wkly).

I would like to know if anyone else has been diagnosed with RA

nodules in their lungs and if yes, what should I expect, if

anything? Will the nnodes eventually appear in other internal organs?

Thanks,

K
