Well, it's official I have rheumatoid arthritis after getting vaccinated
No history of it in my mother's family no history of it ever in my father's family. I have never had any previous problems or history. Now, I have swollen fingers, toes, right knee, elbow, feel dizzy, out of breath and breaking out in rashes all over my body.
I am sorry you are newly diagnosed with RA,
. There is some research that seems to show that certain 'traumas', including vaccinations, can trigger an overreactive immune response that seems to then trigger autoimmune conditions like RA. Do you have any specific questions about RA that we can help answer? Have you been able to meet with a rheumatologist and start looking at treatment options? Finding the right medication can help with some of the symptoms you are experiencing.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have questions or concerns or just need to vent. We're here for you!

Hi
. Just to follow up on what Erin said, this article on questions for the doctor might be helpful: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/questions-for-the-doctor. Please feel free to keep us posted. Best, Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team) Thank you Rich and Erin. I am 100% certain the Covid vaxination did this to me. I am so upset that the state of CA pushed this upon me. I didn't want to get the jab but my mother persuaded me. Poor mom now feels guilty. I am starting a new treatment called EBOO to try and flush the spike protein from my system. Everybody should read up on this.
I was diagnosed with RA just yesterday (second appointment). I already had osteo for years with moderate pain but that all changed about the time I got the series of COVID vaccines. I went from moderate pain to agonizing pain in a flash. I tend to agree with you. 
oh I'm so sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. Do you have any questions we can answer for you, or information you're looking for? I do want to share this article from our advocate, Lisa, about 10 things she wishes she'd known when newly diagnosed, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/diagnosis-awareness.
