I'm so glad I'm not alone!

Hello Everyone! My first sign that something was amiss was in 2003 with sudden bilateral hearing loss. It wasn't until a March of 2017 when my feet and hands began to swell and become painful that I found out I had a high RF and was high seropositive.

RA has been quite an educational experience, but I am so very glad to have found this site. I'm looking forward to becoming a part of an understanding community!!
