Unusual Symptoms

Anyone else experience mild kidney pain, on and off heart palpitations and skin rashes? I'm 3 years in and have never had these issues and wondering if my medication is the cause or the actual RA/RD

  1. Hi Kimmy64. I don't have these symptoms. I think you should call your doctor. Like you said, a lot can happens on these meds. Also, the disease can progress or you could develop another one. That happened to me. I ended up with RA and Lupus. You can't be too careful.
    I hope you feel better soon.

    1. Hi Kimmy64! I echo what ktinflorida said; this is something you should probably bring to your physicians attention as soon as possible. Anytime a member of our community experiences a new or suddenly worsening symptom, we recommend that they notify their doctor. Whether your symptoms are related to medications, your RA, or something else entirely, they warrant a visit to your doctor's office or, at the very least, a discussion with your doctor. Best of luck and please keep us posted on how you are doing! Best, Erin, RheumatoidArthritis.net Team Member.

      1. Thank you for the feed back and I will be calling my doctor on Monday and hopefully get some answers.
