Hi all, I'm having the strangest thing, when I need to yawn I can't take a full breath. I git this 'hitch' in my breathing, that stops my yawn. Also, if I need to sneeze, I start to take a breath, and can't sneeze. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes! I do get that ,
Yes I get that a lot and my Doctor has told me it is yet aother side effect (diagnosed with Adult Stills Disease). He says that in RA the connective tissue swells up and 'squeezes' the lungs so they do not expand to full capacity quickly.
Hope this helps
