waiting my blood work results

[Guest guest]

hi,

im new to the group. im awaiting my test results to confirm RA. I just wanted to

mention my symptoms and see what everyone elses symptoms were when they first

got diagnosed. im just very anxious and scared about it. im 24 and been

experiencing a lot of morning stiffness for about 4 months now...the balls of my

feet, my knees, hips (especially painful), my elbows are starting to hurt. my

fingers and even my toes hurt sometimes but on very rare occasions. my hips are

my biggest problem when getting up in the morning....i almost fall to the floor

it hurts so bad. my neck started hurting last july 2008 and was excruciating for

about 5 months and the doc couldnt figure out what it was until my other joints

started hurting. i feel very fatigued and want to sleep constantly. is this what

everyone had? any advice or info would be great. thanks!
