Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hello all, I am a newbie to both the group and RA. I was just diagnosed on Tuesday (after five years). They had always suspected RA, but my Rheumatoid factor had never come up positive until this time. The joints in my fingers are starting to turn in, and I have the nodules under my elbows... I am 30 yrs old. I was really looking to see how you can tell if it is advanced - is it through bloodwork or based on symptoms? or both? Also, I was looking to see what treatments have worked best for everyone. I am seeing my rheummy at the end of the month, and I would like to be full of info to help figure out the best course of treatment. Thanks much everyone, I appreciate it... I am still researching online and trying to figure out what I am dealing with and what the best thing (s) is for me to do now - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
