Can you have RA without swollen joints?
Thanks

yes you can. I have it. I suffer as much from the fatigue as anything. I have pain but have been fortunate not to have a lot of swelling.

Chartreux I am so sorry ... I completely understand. That is what is going on with me as well. lots of tests run today as doctor thinks rituxan has quit working. I sure hope that's not the case as I still have at least two weeks before I can try another medicine if that is the case. Missed half day of work yesterday and all day today.... will not work tomorrow either. The fatigue is worse than the pain for me most of the time.

A friend of mine who was originally diagnosed with RA was recently re-diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. He never had the severe swelling that I go through but had severe pain and debilitation and is fully disabled now. I don't know how they ended up coming to that conclusion but they did some pretty intensive testing with him.
