Gosh,you really have a lot on your plate! I was lucky to being retired (worked to 82) when I was diagnosed with RA. I do have pain most of the time,have a painful muscle in my lower calf. I had 2 epidural injections which helped, you are allowed 4 a year..hope you have a good rheumatologist and can get some good advise! Keep trying and good luck!

I would wait until you get onto medications and see how you do. To quit immediately could end up being foolish. I say hang in there for a few months and see how the meds work.

I have been DX for 5 years. I had to quit working last fall. I got rejected. They state even though I have a severe conditipn I can "do something". So be prepared. I have a lawyer. But it can take a year to get a hearing after being rejected. My advice? File. Get a lawyer. Good luck.

I looked it up on the as I website. It says if you suffer in more that one joint at the same time and or it goes from joint to joint. My problem is I can't afford not to work and have no insurance

Thank you.. Much love sent back to you @A myRAteam Member
