a couple questions re: RA

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody, well, I'm working my way, slowly, through the archives,

and learning sooo much. You all offer so much information and support

to each other--it's just terrific to see.

May I ask if anyone has experienced having aching painful hands AND

neck?

I know the pain symptoms are typically bilaterally symmetrical in RA,

but I'm wondering if the nodules are also usually symmetrical?

Also, how closely tied is the fatigue to the pain? I am second

guessing myself--if I am not having pain but I am having deep fatigue,

is that a flare or is that just, well, fatigue?

Thanks!
