You're welcome, Sue. I find it interesting that my symptoms continue to change and develop and can see that there was no way I was going to get an accurate diagnosis a year ago. The literature on RA stresses the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to limit damage. Some literature (out of Britain) talks about that first 3 months window being critical. For someone like me, that would be impossible because there's no way anyone would have diagnosed me with RA a year ago.
