Thank you.

I tested negative. However, I have flares. I have deformities. My fingers don't point the right way anymore and my toes are trying to do weird crossy things they shouldn't do. My hips, back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, ankles, and toes are affected. Sounds awfully similar to RA to me.

I've had RA since 2017. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope I will hear more info from you soon.

Thank you for your positivity I have MS Lupus RA & Sjorgens & it gets kinda loopy trying to differentiate which one is actively causing me drama so videos like your helps to sort it out easier to seperate. Keep it up. “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, But a good word cheers it up “ Proverbs 12:25 your video can help cheer up someone who is having anxiety differentiating their autoimmune diseases with simple explanations

You are an absolute angel in this world for making such a great and helpful video ❤

I’m starting this soon stupid question but how do you empty the sharps containers what do you do when it’s full 😅

Ty

That’s interesting! I got inflammatory poly-arthritis as a diagnosis, my RF was near high but not close enough to be positive. I noticed the fatigue, I had memory problems, my eyelashes grew and I was able to break my nails easier.

Fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disease! Patients have a defect in the mitochondria!

I found your video because I was contacted about clinic position. I have never looked into rheumatology but your videos has me intrigued. I have a year of experience (skilled nursing facilities mainly). Excited for a new change. Enjoy your weekend.

You are supposed to do it on the outside of the thigh

So I was at a 14, PCP referred me to rheumatologist. Was having random pains on one side but turns out it’s a pinched nerve. Was fighting to get referral to be told over phone by rheumatologist that my levels are normal and my anti-ccp is negative so now I’m confused. Cuz homie said I don’t meet the criteria to be a patient. Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful but confused. Grateful for the breakdowns. Yes it was helpful

Great video Thank you.❤

Thank you for this video ❤️🥺

I received my first “looks like rheumatoid “ at the age of 16. By that point, I lost my ring finger knuckle… 13 years old. I was given the seronegative RA in my early twenties. So, 45 years later and it has slowed tremendously. However, I am so accustomed to pain that I miss mini flares. I now get diagnosed via X-ray or ultrasound during a flare. What made it much less damaging- I quit smoking.

I am starting Plaquenil today and so appreciate your video.... thank you!

I have been on it for about a month. I am in pain every day. I was told it would take 6 months for me to feel a different 😢

Thank you good information 😊

I heard that with chronic fatigue there is exercise intolerance. However, fibromyalgia is helped by exercise. Is this true?

How are you able to get multi blood test

Thank you

It’s called “the spoon theory.” Originally used for explaining what it’s like to dive with Lupus. Website is called “but you don’t look sick.”

I just took enbrel last tuesday and for the first time in years I was pain free for 5 days. I have lupus that has given me RA and i would dread waking up and depressed to the point of wanting to give up. Listen we are all going to die, i would rather live the rest of my days to the fullest pain free and be the best mom I can be than be in the bed in pain. I just want my life back. Do not listen to people saying it killed someone they know. If I don't get the inflammation down I will die anyways.

Is it really true that RA cant attack organs? I thought it was rare but that it could.🤔 Ive been having complications like a gastric bleed and inflammationin my stomachvisible on a scope (im now on stomachmeds to reduce), kidney issues etc. I do also get a facial flush that resembles a butterfly rash. In 2019 i was negative for lupus but getting retested on Tuesday. I was diagnosed with sero positive RA in 2019. Sounds like it may be lupus but since it wasnt before i also thought it could be just really bad uncontrolled RA. But now im wondering 😮

Really clear explanation. Thank you!❤

Hope you get some deep rest with this practice. Let me know how you feel in the comments below 🌺

Just what I needed on my study break today, Thank you! ❤

Thank you so much for this. I am watching all your videos. I've suddenly been having pain in my fingers and toe A visit to my primary doctor bought up concerns of rheumatoid arthritis. I'm so concerned. Waiting for my results. My daughter has Multiple Sclerosis. She's 37. Listening to your story and channel is so helpful. Thank you so much. Your videos are very helpful.

This was very helpful thank!! I’m a college student and I am switching to humira so I don’t have to keep coming back for my infusion for my IBD. I was afraid I was gonna have to stab it like an epipen

I am a Leopard lover too. I am deeply interested in protecting leopards in Pakistan. Let us form a Leopard Club of Pakistan.

Doctor am sick this RF rheumatoid factor but we taken medicine but still please I take which medicine patter

I have swelling, swan-like deformities, Heberden's Nodes, and arthritis, and I need to use a walker to walk and have a power chair. My results came back RF Factor 47, Anti CCP 23 as a weak positive and the ANA came back negative. Years ago, I had the tests, but I was walking, and they said it was "unremarkable," but since then, I have been so much worse.

So funny. I thought that too but black people do get sunburned.

My mummi has Ra factor 207 She cry because of pain Please give me some guidance, how to take care of her and her diet

Very resonating! Thank you!

Thank you for having these videos still up. It’s helping me understand, while waiting to find out what it is I have. I’m seronegative. So kinda a toss up atm, but my rheumy thinks it’s ra. Hope you’re doing well. ❤

I dunno if you still read these, but thank you! I can relate completely and im just beginning to process and heal from my trauma. I really always felt it was a big factor in my RA flares.

Thank you. This helped A LOT and really helped calm my nerves a little bit. I’ve been so worried I would do this wrong and you explained and showed everything perfectly. Literally THEE BEST video on how to give yourself an injection. Thank you again!

Thank you 😊

My English is very broken but you’re very educated that was very easy for me to understand everything ! Thank you so much for your beautiful English 😘 sorry for my bad writing ☺️☺️

I did find this video very helpful. I am on a years long discovery of what my issues are, how they effect my functioning and how to manage them (RA, Fibromyalgia and Adhd etc., etc). I've just recently started to wonder if I may have chronic fatigue because, with great disappointment, I've become less energetic and more fatigued over the past 10 years (I was more active when I just had chronic pain) I'm starting to not be able to remain awake throughout the day or sleep at night. It's very overwhelming because im not able to keep up with my nieces, nephews and other family and friends as I was able to before. And engaging in activities that give me great joy and fulfillment has dropped dramatically. But apparently according to a lot of other people, there isnt anything wrong with me. And I can't seem to find a doctor that will pay attention to how the fibro and all other issues effects my life. I'm discovering more and this video has added to my knowledge, helping me to try to find other avenues to take so i won't feel like a prisoner with no life. Thank you 👍

Thank you

I have fibromyalgia lupus and rheumatoid arthritis 😢

Thanks 🙏
