Hi sorry to hear this, have you been to a Rheumatologist ?
and I wonder if your Doctor tested more than the esr ?
Morphine can make you tired also not good to be on long term without a good diagnosis
RA has many symptoms and some can also be for other reasons
I would ask to see a Rheumatologist or at least follow up with your local Doctor or go for a second opinion don't suffer in silence

I agree to see a RA, wouldnt hurt. If it isn't arthritis you can scratch that and move to something else.

I think you can ask you doc to take you a bloodtest to confirm if you really have an RA

You absolutely need to see an experienced rheumatologist, not a general physician. Before I was diagnosed with RA I made a lot of tests!
