Just curious as to if anyone has been diagnosed with asthma due to the RA?

Hi,
I'm the opposite. I was reacting to foods, baby formulas, skin issues as an infant along with episodes of bronchitis, diagnosed with asthma by a year old.
So asthma all my life. I was diagnosed at 67 with RA and told I had it much longer. I figured it was osteoarthritis as others in family had it. Not that asthma and RA go hand in hand, but unfortunately
Autoimmune diseases have their own ways of attacking and having one seems it opens the door for us to have another.
Sorry you are going through this! Hope you are doing OK🐞
