Hi,
Its impossible for us to say, we are not medical professionals. Have you seen an actula Rhuematologist? RA can only be diagnosed by many tests, not blood work alone. Research the info online at this site. One of the major hallmarks of RA is morning stiffness that takes more than an hour to release. Research online, then try to see a Rheumatologist for a real dx! Hope you feel better.

Did any of your docoters run a nuclera antibody test? If that comes back positive you have some kind of immune disorder ask you primary doc

I know that I have been dealing with similar symptoms but some different. My knees pop and crack daily. They did Xrays, a MRI, and several blood tests, mobility tests etc. the process has literally taken a year. They have confirmed it is RA. I am fatigued, I have ulcerative colitis, my RA factor was 31.3, my doc told me that normal was 3.5-13. But mornings are very hard for me, I am very stiff in all joints and have limited range of motion for a few hours. Inactivity kills me. You need to stay on top of this get the necessary tests ran and it may take some time but I am sure they will figure out what is going on. It is very hard to deal with and hard on your family too. I am a a business owner with 3 kids and only 31, I know what you are dealing with it is very hard but stay persistant with your doctors!! Good luck!!
