@becsbuddy I got diagnosed about 6 months ago. My hands are deformed it's like it happened overnight. I can't work been waiting on soc sec for a year and a half I had applied for other cause then this came along. It is horrible I have no income coming in. I can't come my hair my son has to help me get dressed sometimes I don't even have enough for meds. My parents started helping with bills everything was getting shut off. it is a nightmare. I already had agoraphobia major depression and anxiety, this makes it worst. One doc told me my hands wouldn't stay like this but RA specialist says there's no reversing damage and surgery will make it worse.
