Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey gang! I love this board! I was diagnosed with ra in June of this year. When I was filling out my medical history at the rheumy's they were asking things like depression, anxiety, mitral valve prolapse and a whole list of other disorders. So it got me to wondering are these all tied to ra because I noticed the dr making notes as we talked about these things. I have depression, anxiety, mvp, hyermobile joint syndrome, benign essential tremors, hyperlipidemia, asthma and allergies. Does anybody have this host of " disorders " ? Or am I just a nut job? Anyways I just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions or information on this. Thanks for the input. I pray for painfree days for everybody. wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi , I think everyone with chronic pain has some depression and anxiety. Hyperlipidemia is associated with an increased risk of RA. Hypermobile joints are at higher risk for arthritis but I think osteo. Asthma and allergies can also fit in the picture, esp. for Psoriatic Arthritis. Don't know about the other conditions. Best of luck. > > Hey gang! I love this board!
