Managing multiple autoimmune conditions like RA, Sjögren’s, and lupus can indeed be challenging, especially when it comes to identifying the source of your symptoms. Here are some insights from my knowledge base:

- RA Flares: Often characterized by joint pain, stiffness, swelling, fatigue, irritability, and sometimes depression. Flares can be triggered by overexertion, stress, hormonal changes, infections, and poor sleep.
- Tracking Symptoms: Keeping a detailed record of your symptoms can help you and your doctor identify patterns and potential triggers. This can be crucial in distinguishing between the conditions.
- Open Dialogue: Regular communication with your rheumatologist is essential. They can help determine whether your symptoms are due to RA inflammation or another condition and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
