Thank you so much...Do you also know if you can feel these symptoms one day...but also feel good the day? Or is this an every day occurance? I can feel these symptoms up to a few days a week...however the next few days after those feel fine, just alittle weak and tired.

I have 9 symptoms... how good or bad is that?

YES..... you can have some days that are bad and some days that are good and all within one week - symptoms of RA can even stay around for weeks or months and then pass and not be seen for 6 months - every person that has RA is different.

I have had Arthritis since I was 12 years old and I have been dealing with severe RA for the last ten - and I take LIFE and RA as it comes at me, with the good and the bad.... I do what I can when I am able and I let it slide when I am unable.

The list I placed on here was meant more for people that already have a Dx of RA - and then their symptoms become worse.... as the list shows, one should call their doctor (their Rheumatologist) if their quality of daily living becomes effected.

Having 9 of the symptoms listed above does not necessarily mean that YOU have RA, but it is a warning sign that you should see your GP for a check-up and blood work.... RA is Dx by taking your history into account and with blood work (if one meets at least 7 of the 10 items that blood work shows they can be Dx with RA by a doctor) - as in my case, I meet all but one of them.
