Is Back Pain Associated With RA

I will ask my rheumatologist next month when i go but i was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this topic. I've had back trouble for many years but i could always pinpoint a specific cause (injury, overuse, etc) but this time it just seemed to come out of nowhere.

I've Had Migraines Since I Was 8 Years Old, Medicine Exacerbates RA Pain.

I've been on Imitrex for about 15 years and it works amazingly for me in terms of migraines. I've tried other prescriptions for my migraines and none have ever worked as well as Imitrex.

Nose Sores And Mouth Sore... Lupus Or RA

I've been diagnosed with RA but in the last few months I've had almost constant nose sores (not dry sores or caused my dryness). One time I did have a sore on the roof of my mouth nothing seemed to irritate it except on occasion when I'd push on it. I know have a small sore on my inner lip that I'm not sure is related its more like the start to a canker sore. Do you know I might have been misdiagnosed. I've also had shortness of breath and chest tightening making it hard to breathe in. Thank… read more

Dermatologist identified rash as dermaititis. So what? Prescribed triamcinolone acetonide cream. No help whatsoever. Only cerave has helped with itching temporarily - but the rash, dry skin, and itching of two months duration is not going away. Any ideas/remedies?
