Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm not sure about everybody else, but my RA went undiagnosed for several years. My symptoms include: severe fatigue, morning stiffness ( in the majority of my joints, swelling (especially in hands & feet). I did have night sweats for awhile and headaches. I'm not sure if they were related. It was pretty ironic, but I went to an Urgent Care on one of my last flares before I found out I had RA and the doctor actually cared and ran a series of blood tests that pointed him in the right direction.  I often wonder if I'd still be undiagnosed as my Primary and a slew of ER doctors kept prescribing muscle relaxants. I wish I could get people to understand how debilitating this disease is to all of us. Heidi in Denver ________________________________ From: guswal_co <chelybeann@...> Sent: Fri, July 9, 2010 9:25:32 AM Subject: [ ] Another RA Question  What symptoms do YOU experience with RA?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have had night sweats before too and wondered if it had anything to do with RA. My doc said she didn't think so. ~~~~~~~~~~Joy~~~~~~~~~ From: Heidi Kimball <hkimball48@...> Subject: Re: [ ] Another RA Question Date: Friday, July 9, 2010, 9:02 PM I'm not sure about everybody else, but my RA went undiagnosed for several years.
