I’m not an expert on rheumatoid arthritis so I can’t give you much information there, but make sure that you also get screened for celiac disease. It’s not uncommon among people with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. It’s very common among the general population (about 1 in 133 people have it) and the number is higher than that among people with another autoimmune disease. The symptoms can overlap (you can have aches and pains, swelling, and fatigue with celiac disease too), so diagnosis can be hard. Make sure your doctor looks into it as well.
