Dry eyes, sun sensitivity, skin issues, fatigue a and brain fog is pretty bad at times.

  1. Hi , thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with these frustrating (and challenging) symptoms. I know a lot of our community members experience some (if not all) of these as well. We do have various articles on RA and these symptoms.

    This article talks about the various ways the eyes can be impacted by RA, including Dry Eye Disease, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/red-eye-inflammation.

    One of our advocates asked about skin sensitivity here, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/forums/sun-sensitivity-and-ra-meds-experiences-suggestions. And this article includes information on skin issues associated with RA, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/skin-issues-associated-ra.

    Brain fog and fatigue are big ones that community members struggle with. I don't want to overwhelm you with links and articles, but if you'd like some articles with information on those, please let us know and we can pass them along to you as well.

    Are you currently working with a doctor? Or on any treatment for RA? How are you managing currently? Please know this community is here for you! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
