I’m 22 years old and was recently diagnosed with secondary Sjogren’s syndrome with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Is anyone else out there like this? I’ve had symptoms for nearly a decade, and have not started official medication yet. I’m finding it so hard to exercise as fatigue drains every bit of energy I have. Is it normal to have excessive fatigue with RA? It’s been really hard for me to cope with this, seeing as how its so rare for someone my age, and I’m just looking for some support.

Any words of advice are greatly appreciated!

Since I can remember, I’ve always had stiffness and pain in the joint of my middle finger.. The joint inflames and becomes very painful and then goes down to where I feel almost no stiffness or pain. The joint, even when it isn’t inflamed is significantly larger than the rest of my finger’s joints. I’ve had this pain since before I started school, and now I’m 18. I would love if anyone has ideas to what it may be or if they know for sure that it’s a very mild case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
