Such a roller coaster this disease is but it sounds like you have not been on the upside of the ride for a while! It is depressing after you try and try and still feel so bad. Keep at it as hard as it is. Someone has to help. I hope your rollercoaster starts you on the up side soon.

That sensation of vibrating or feeling like the floor is moving under you is something others with rheumatoid arthritis have reported too — so you're definitely not alone in this!

This kind of sensation can be linked to peripheral neuropathy, which is nerve damage that can occur with RA. It can cause a wide range of unusual feelings, including:

- Pins and needles
- Numbness or tingling
- Burning or freezing sensations
- A feeling like you're wearing an invisible sock
- Decreased coordination and balance
- Sensitivity to touch These sensations often start in the fingers or toes and can spread further. Because they can overlap with general RA symptoms, it's sometimes tricky to pinpoint the exact cause.

It's really worth bringing this up with your rheumatologist. They can review your symptoms and medications, run some tests, and help figure out what's going on. Some treatments — including physical therapy, nerve stimulation, and certain medications — may help relieve these sensations.

Don't ignore it, especially since it's happening all the time!
