Why Do You All Call It Hand Finger RA - I Have It All Over Including My Lungs??
I have been affected by RA in my entire body not just hand and fingers, my lungs are even affected, just wondered why they call it hand/finger RA?
It seems most of us are in the same boat although i dont wish this on my worst enemy i am happy to have found this sight as i dont feel so alone anymore. We need to support each other and i thank anyone who reads my post and also who comment thanks everyone for advice support etc..
RA is a systemic autoimmune disease. Not sure why they would categorize people by where the disease started. That seems like a disservice. I'm 10 years in and RA has effected about every joint in my body as well as my lungs, heart, eyes, and nervous system.
My understanding from my Doc is that is starts in the hands,wrist,feet and ankles and then progresses on a walk about to the rest of your body.
I have pain in ankles, feet, wrists, hands, neck, shoulders, head, forehead, arms, elbows, and back
Yes, I was wondering this as well. I thought once you've got it, it starts popping up pretty much all over, right?
