Thank you! I hurt. My husband works out if town 7a-7p mon-sat., so it’s me alone Innagony. I do appreciate your comments . Sometimes I feel it’s all in vain. I have been to 4 doctors already. The last one, the second RA I’ve seen finally figured it out since all the others said it’s “
In my head”, put me on benzodiazepines and sedatives. I was dismayed and mad! I’m a nurse ( was) so I cried and cried. Anyway.. woe is me....
I do have to find out what the lower left leg swelling is.. I’m guessing my heart has just had enough and the RA is affecting it also. Funtimes!! IM SICK OF IT ALL...

@susandenise I got the same “it’s all in your head” treatment! Oh how I despise it! So, now, I only see woman doctors—what a difference! Please find a female doctor!!
You said that your husband works out of town 6 days a week. Is he home at night? Does he know what your going through? Is the farm work too much?

As a retired RN, I agree, you need to find out why your leg is swelling. Doesn’t sound good and as you know, NOT normal. Why would a rheumatologist put you on such meds for RA? I don’t get it. As a female patient who was essentially written off as “it’s all in your head”, how angry that makes me is beyond words. Yes, it was all in my head - my jaw joints to be specific! Since I got artificial joints in 2009, I’ve not had any jaw joint pain! TG I finally found a medical/dental specialist who understood and LISTENED!
