Hi, I'm a new/returning member. I posted about a year ago I think under a different name (I think I was Juliahh, can't remember). Anyhow, I'm 40 years old, married with an 9 year old son. I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago I think. My memory is bad. I am seronegative. I have constant, unrelenting pain in my hands/fingers. I also have constant fatigue that has been interfering with my work the past few months. I have other autoimmune issues including a history of Graves disease, cardimyopathy/congestive heart failure, ulcerative colitis and RA. Otherwise, I'm perfectly healthy
take care

I hope you can get some relief soon. I'm seronegative too and have not got the RA under control yet. Good luck tommorrow.

Dear Julia, swell to have you 'back' and to have so many great new (and old) people to write to. I do hope you can get relief tomorrow, my gosh that's where I have the pain. Everything you do is with your HANDS, for heaven's sakes!! When they are stiff and swollen you can't even pick up a coffee cup. Typing is difficult. Good luck with the doc. lv sarahHi Julia...welcome back!!Hi Julia...great to have ya. I pray your pain goes away soon! I wish you well at your appt tomorrow. Hi Julia - great to meet you - I am another sero-negative - most of my probs now relate to my arms and hands. Yay!
