Hi, I have a rheumatologist referral appointment next Friday for what is looking like rheumatoid arthritis. What should I expect and how best do I advocate for myself? Is there anything in particular I should read up on beforehand? Thank you so much.

Feeling quite scared about the diagnosis. Other than the pain/fatigue, I work with my hands and also keen climber/runner.
