Hello all a little over a month ago I went to the doctor because I was extremely fatigued and I had mild joint pain in my fingers, wrists, and ankles. I assumed that as a 38 year-old woman I was having a female problem of sorts(low iron, B-12, estrogen)but my doctor didn't think so. He mentioned Lupus and RA. I have personal and family history with Hashimoto's disease, so I had a ton of blood work done and all my levels were good, including my RA factor. My joint pain hasn't gone away and I am in pain all the time. My doctor still referred my to a rheumatologist and my appointment is in two weeks. Until the words passed out of my doctors lips I knew very little about this disease and I still don't know the impact it will have on my life at this point. I guess I'm looking for support and information. I don't even know what kind of information. I have read all the clinical info online and it doesn't help. Thanks
