Looking for a similar story...

Hey, it's me Jeanne.

I'm just wondering if any of you have had my course of

symptoms/events in the initial stage of RA. I am 35 years old and

I've had joint pain and fatigue for a while now...can't recall when

it started. Then there's the recurrent scleritis (like an " ulcer " ) 4x

in my eyes . I've had a couple of what I think were " flares " . It felt

like the flu. I hurt really bad, exhausted and chills--no fever. I

have traveling joint pain, but no redness or swelling. I feel tired a

lot of the time, but always attributed it to running a household and

caring for 3 kids. I have a couple of other things to question. Is

there any connection with the psoriasis I have on 2 fingers that

comes and goes? And I have periodontal disease which has already

required grafting. Thanks for letting me send feelers out...I'm in

that " unknown " phase of diagnosis until I see the Rheumy in June.

Smiles,

Jeanne
