I was diagnosed with RA Lung 3 months ago. I don't think it has to be a mass. I have no masses, nor nodules. My RA affects the lining around my lungs, and I have had 2 plural effusions drained....
hey guys with bad RA feet. Here's my issue. the RA is the worst in my feet and shoulders. Several years ago when Skeetcher came out with their "shape ups" I bought a pair. Not under the false...
I'm on 1mg per day. but i'll take two a day with mtx to help with the hair fall-out....
sorry just saw this! Glad you have a good dr. That's the begining of well being right there!...
The only side effect I've ever had with mtx is my hair falls out for a couple of days after I take it. And it locks up my bowels sometimes and I have to have something for that, but otherwise, it is...
Hi Jessemc - Yes, sometimes I have night sweats, but thats menopause. I was tested by blood 2 months ago for TB, I'm "clean". I've had several good days in a row (omg imagine that!), but that's...

I'd also like to say that I started wearing the Skeecher's Shape Ups, not because I actually thought they'd shape me up, but because of the wedge slant heel. It has helped TREMENDOUSLY! Now, after 3...
I've described it to my rheumy as like walking on little rubber balls. What you're describing is something I live with nearly every day. It's the RA......

I always say I sound like breakfast ceral because my feet snap, crackle and pop, especially in the morning. My feet/ankles and my shoulders are my worst joints. I feel your pain!...
Hi and this is my first post! I actually signed up because of this very conversation. The fatigue is worse than the joint pain for me. Some days I can barely drive myself home from work, thankfully I...
