Re: Re: im new and in pain

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I am new to the diagnosis of RA (since late August). Initially, my began with

swelling of the knees, one more than the other. Eventually, I couldn;t get out

of bed and could no longer work. My muscles in my arms and legs were very sore

too. The doctor told me that I had Fibromyalgia along with the RA. which was

creating the muscle pain. But, I think it was due to the RA. I also had

involuntary tremors (still do but not as bad), and what is often called restless

leg syndrome. It all made sleeping impossible.

Good luck! Let me know what happens.
