My storie and my question

[Cheyennesheppard]

Hi my name is cheyenne and I dionosed with RA sence I was 16 years old and so far just a lot of swelling in my feet and hands I was wondering if this gets worse

It seems that the symptoms and progression are different for each person.  I'm 44 and I have joint pain and fatigue.  I've had the fatigue for as long as I can remember.  I also have brain fog periodically.  Hopefully, your symptoms don't develop further.  Adding you to my prayer list.

Thank you so much and my symtoms have gotten alot worse and about to see a rheumatologist for it.

How long have you had RA? The progression like the rest of the disease is totally individualized to the person that has it. It could not progress, it could slowly, or be aggressive. It could go into remission ( no progression) or become very aggressive. If you are having inflammation you should see your rheumatologist and see if there is medicine you can take to stop the disease. I have moderate to severe RA and take a lot of meds to slow/stop the progression of the disease. I hope this helps with your question if not just ask again.
