Welcome Jason. Certainly sounds like RA to me. The way you described your hands is exactly how I felt at first. Tired; low energy...morning stiffness. Classic symptoms; I hope you will find the help you need next week. Good Luck. Hope to see more of you here. Hi Jason, Yes you will find lots of information on the boards. But remember everyone feels differently. So what is good for one may not be good for the other. But I have found out alot since I came to the boards. Those who share your illness can help you alot. Good Luck. Good Luck Jason. Continue to come here and make some friends. We've all come to rely on each other a great deal. Only other people that have this and other diseases like it truely understand it. Welcome Jason, I understand your fear, I was there, along with a lot of people here. It's not a nice way to envision your future that's for sure...but... Once properly diagnosed and the right treatment plan set in place you can live a good life. It's all about quality of life. The pain, confusion and general ill feeling will subside into merely "background noise" and the things you dread doing now, you will later do without even thinking about it. I wish you good health. You're in good hands here, please stick around and post often. Jackie
