Welcome @klw, I know you are not alone. My mother had severe RA and I've always worried about getting it. I do have degenerative arthritis but so far no RA. You may be interested in joining the conversation in the following discussion:

Have you done any research on what helps or found anything that helps your symptoms?

I continue to do yoga (intermediate class; however, we have been together 10 years and I pretty much modify everything). The one thing I have found after research is the harm that sugar has (worsening inflammation). I am a sugarholic. When I get stressed I eat candy. Just went through rough bit and ate sugar all day for days. I am now paying the price. What I need to find is something other than sugar/food that can help me destress.
