Hello. I am a 35 year old mother of 2 and just found out that I have an elevated RA factor of 49.5. I was hospitalized a couple months ago or so for severe burning in my chest, arms, and stomch with total loss of stregth in my muscles. My muscles also burned. I lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks due to thess episodes. They came and went for a month. When in the hospital they couldnt find anything other than high white blood counts. So I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Since then I have had pain in my left wrist and right knee. And got test results back from my doctor with the elevated ra factor. My dad had RA my whole life. He passed away at the age of 62 five years ago. In the mornings my lower back is very stiff along with pain in my right knee and left wrist. I also have muscle twitches almost constantly. Little ones. Please anyone have any answers??? I am sooo scared! I havent seen a Reumatoidologist yet because I don't have insurance. Thank you so much!
