I am currently being investigated for RA due to various swollen joints I keep getting (mainly in my right hand but also in my toes). I also have a patch of vitiligo under my eye.
The whole family has had a cold this week - runny nose and sore throat being the main symptoms. Everyone else has felt fine after a coupe of days and their symptoms were mild. Whereas I had a very sore throat and felt very unwell, and now I am totally wiped out with no energy at all. I barely have the energy to type this. Yesterday on the school run I had to sit down for five minutes before I could contemplate the return journey.
I'm just wondering whether this could be related to RA, or whether I have just been unlucky this time? Any thoughts?
