I have the same issues. I also suffer from vertigo. I blame it on the RA. Everytime it has happened is when I am feeling really crappy. Achy, sore and extremely tired. I find this is also the times that I am more likely to drop things and to run into doors or fall over lint. LOL

Yes it does. I've had RA about 20 years. Drop stuff all the time & fallen several times.

It definitely can . I have been dealing with RA for 18 years.

Thanks! I have been experiencing all the things you mentioned. I've fallen a few times this past week, like some ghost was tripping me or pushing me from behind...it's kind of hard to explain to others why I have rug burns on my face! It never dawned on my that falling could be related to the flare I'm having.
