Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - Introduce yourself and meet others

@pearlbaby7, thank you for the additional information that your rheumatoid arthritis is not limited to your knees and eyes, but rather that these are your current areas of concern. I also appreciate the comments of @bluebird6156 and @boomerexpert regarding seeing a specialist and to inquire about RA treatment options. Am I correct in understanding that you have not been seen by a rheumatologist?
It has been a couple of weeks since you posted. How are you doing now? Did you end up getting an earlier appointment with your doctor?

No. I've never been referred to a rheumatologist. My appointment with my PCP is next week. I'll ask him about it then.
I'm still swollen in my hands and wrists. It may be why I've been running a low grade fever recently.
When I was in the hospital in October my levels were almost 23 times the maximum it should be. I'll ask that they check it again when they do blood tests again next week.
Thanks for asking.
