Elizabeth, I don't have RA but I am really glad you started this thread. Is there a quick way you can outline the major differences between RA and Fibromylagia. You said that some of the symptoms were the same but maybe the onset and duration for initial diagnosis or the blood work is different?

I do hope that you, Connie's dd, and shepherdchild find more things that work and provide relief.

Thank you for posting about taking care of any suspicions right away. I am one that is prone to wait and see and if damage can be forestalled then that is good to know and might spur me to look at things sooner rather than later.

So far I am just working with occasional bouts of thumb lockup from OA. Not a biggy.
