Avatar n tn So I was just doing some research for another post on post viral arthritis. It is a kind of arthritis that can set in after you have a virus or the flu. I read that it takes several weeks to months to resolve. I immediately thought of you. Ask your doctor about this type of arthritis and please let us know what you find out.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis since 2007. First the blood work showed RA factor 83. And last year the number were 95. I went to rheumatologist last year. After examining he said even the numbers are high i don't have any pain or swelling he cant give any medicine. Since i am not taking anything. And i don't have any pain or swelling. But i am worrying about the numbers. If anybody have any suggesstions, would be highly appreciated.

Avatar n tn My father was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis shortly after WWII. He developed it shortly after being shipped back from England in a coma with a very high temperature. He had the usual symptoms of RA but it was not symetrical. It affected different joints on either side of the body. He died in 1965. About a year before he died, he developed unusual symptoms- loss of taste, areas of de-pigmentation etc.
6757907 tn?1385102265 Hey guys - my mom is 55 and has rheumatoid arthritis, and wants to apply for SSI (disability). She has terrible pains and her hands have become crippled. Do you think this will qualify her for it? She can barely lift up her arms; she's worked in care-giving and now it's impossible to do simple chores/duties.
Avatar m tn //www.assh.org/handcare/condition/rheumatoid-arthritis See your doctor. They will examine your hands. Then take X rays and if they suspect RA, do blood work to confirm. It's treatable. So either way, you should see your doctor. Do Nsaids help at all?
Avatar f tn What if any is the difference between rheumatoid artritis and serio negative arthritis.
Avatar f tn Hello, Vasculitis is a serious complication of rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune disease. All of the autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren’s can be associated with optic nerve inflammation (optic neuritis), vasculitis in the eye, uveitis, and retinopathy. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
1036532 tn?1335409367 I've been diagnosed recently with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have always taken ibuprofen for my aches in the past. This year I was put on a mild anti-depressant, so I switched to acetaminophen. However, I've now been put onto hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) against the rheum arthritis. You're not supposed to take acetaminophen with it. Are there any other painkiller options? What am I supposed to do for headaches? Am I just out of luck?
1120857 tn?1264112349 I have all the symptoms of arthritis for years but when I do x rays and blood tests nothing shows up I've nodules stiffness, can hardly dress myself in the morning can hardly sleep with the pains in my shoulders what do I do now I have this approx 14yrs and was once hospitalised when all of my jonts just seized up. My mood is very low and I've had it up to my eyeballs with doctors.
Avatar f tn In the absense of a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (the autoimmune kind), what you're seeing is probably osteoarthritis (the wear and tear kind). Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to osteoarthritic changes, but OA does not mean you have RA. RA and OA are two completely different conditions, but many symptoms of both cross over so it's easy to confuse the two.
Avatar f tn There have been increased incidences of fibromyalgia among people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Having rheumatoid arthritis can be considered as a risk factor for fibromyalgia. A lack of vitamin D is associated with higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis. A correct intake of vitamin D, along with calcium is very important in protecting the health of our bones. Low vitamin D may lead to early progression of the disease. You need to see a specialist.
Avatar n tn The rheumatoid factor is more common in rheumatoid arthritis patients, many patients with a positive test (Anti-CCP) do not have rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, the presence of the rheumatoid factor has less prognostic significance than the CCP." Have you had a CCP done? Both the Anti-CCP and CCP blood tests are recommended in the initial evaluation of a patient with suspected RA.
Avatar f tn t mean that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis I have an appointment with a specialist next month. I am fourty seven years old. I have no family history of Rheumatoid Arthritis.Can you tell me if there is a need for alarm? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/227148'>rheumatoid factor</a>.
Avatar f tn Rheumatoid arthritis can strike at any age, even infancy. If you haven't already, ask for a referral to a rheumatologist. Natural treatments are fine but IMO they are not substitute for medication that will keep your immune system from attacking its own healthy tissue. Before irreversible joint damage occurs I urge you to see a rheumatologist and educate yourself about the diagnosis. arthritis.org and mayoclinic.org are good places to start. Good luck!

Avatar f tn -In children, intermittent fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, and anemia, or blotchy rash on the arms and legs may signal the onset of some types of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Other forms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis are associated with joint stiffness, a limp, or joint swelling. Call Your Doctor About Arthritis If: -The pain and stiffness come on quickly, whether from an injury or an unknown cause; you may be experiencing the onset of rheumatoid arthritis.
