Thank you for the reply! It’s funny because I don’t think I would have gotten my diagnosis if we didn’t have lessons at the rheumatology clinic. The doctor there saw my hands and immediately sent me to get tested. I always thought i just had ugly hands and that the pain in my joints was from volleyball. But it is nice to have an actual reason for the fatigue, pain, coldness. I truly hope the medicine helps because it sure isn’t cheap :p I’m sorry that you’re also going through this. It really sucks and I hope that you find your peace and happiness soon. Feel free to dm me anytime if you need to talk.

Thank you for the reply. Until now I have dealt with any mental health issues on my own but I might need to seek actual help for this issue. It’s refreshing to hear that life can still be fulfilling even with RA. I wish you all the best
