Thanks to @Sbbruin for recommending this thread.
My doc suspects I have RA. Put me on a steroid last week until the blood test comes back. Thing is, I haven't gotten the blood test completed yet because I've been busy. Here's everything I've been dealing with. Any thoughts?
Rash on my left shin that has basically been there for 3 years. It, occasionally, starts to go away, but flares back up.
Lots of fatigue and sore joints. I've always been super athletic. Over the past couple of years, I actually have to use handrails to get up and down the damn stairs. Lower left side of my back (SI joint) has been hurting for a couple of years now. Most of the pain is in my feet, ankles, knees. I say this in the strongest of anti-pussy ways ... I've always been able to deal with pain. I ran a marathon on a dare, I played soccer on two broken ribs, long story short, I once had to jog 4 miles on a newly torn ACL. What I'm dealing with lately is very debilitating and above and beyond just getting old, IMO.
One of my eyes gets bloodshot every couple of months. Eyes are dry a lot.
I do not have nail issues, pitted or otherwise. (This seemed to lead the teledoc away from further PA or RA testing when I first mentioned my symptoms a couple of years ago.)
