Arthritis Information -Jo-1 Antibody

Share
 

I have been baffling many doctors for over 14 months now including my RA.  He just told me he found jo-1 anitibodies in my blood work.  I am really scared after researching this.  My symptoms which have not let up over a year include leg heaviness and weakness although the heaviness is not there anymore.  I have knee and thigh pain and cannot stand or walk that long.  Prior to this, I exercised almost every day for an hour or two so this is very frustrating.  Anybody have jo-1 antibodies and can you please explain to me what it can be?  I am 46 years old and used to be very active.  I am so limited in my activities now and have not been able to kneel down in over a year.  Very frustrating!!  Just a quick note--after sleeping my legs feel fine in bed but as soon as my feet hit the ground my nightmare begins again (weakness).  Please, I would greatly appreciate any information anyone can share with me.  Thank you.
