I was the diagnosis gift of RA in June 2022. Sudden onset that progressed over month or so previous. Rt Ankle, L knee, wrists, R knee built up to every joint. Rheumatologist came thru w/ Methylprednisolone 4mg Hydroxychloroquine 200mg. Hydrox aft 3 wks gave allergic reaction (not fun). Plans to change meds. So far no pain. Pred was increased short term - makes me energized, have clean house. No like steroids though. Thats my story do far. Never knew anyone who had RA.
