Hello.... as a fellow RA sufferer myself (10 yrs plus) - I would have to say that you just described the LIFE I live on a daily or weekly basis, for you if remember right RA not only effects the joints (like reg. arthritis) but it also gets into your bones and muscles.... that is why people with RA often say they hurt from head to toe, and to where just a simply tap of ones finger on your sore spot will hurt as if someone just punched you there.

Take - Care and if you are a member of any GYM or YMCA take a long soak in their heated pool, it does the body good.

AND - I think the longest time I had the type of PAIN you described here (plus some) due to my RA flares was about 6 months straight.... NOT the LIFE we all dream about or want as we age.

LoVe,
