Oh, boy, yes. Getting off the floor takes everything I have to put pressure on all my joints to push off the ground. It is torture. I gave up trying to take a bath years ago. I couldn't get out.

After typing all day, by the next morning my hands and wrists are swollen and painful. Vacuuming causes my shoulder joints to pitch a fit the following day. Any exertion causes swelling just about everywhere.

I don't have insurance, so I have to be careful with expensive choices.

My lab work was very good last year, but I didn't push to have an RA panel. it's time to rule that in or out now. It hasn't gotten better with steroids, so time to change the lifestyle and get this problem under control.

Thanks again for your reply. Delicate hug right back at you.
