Dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis Diagnosis

Hello, I just found out this year that I have RA. Which I had no idea what that was or what I could do to help it. I was scared and confused. It was really hard on my mom finding out. Because when I was 7, I was diagnosed with hyper mobility. And they told me it would go away when I was around 17-18. It ended up getting worse, so I went to a doctor and he told me that I didn’t have that and etc. So I have my appointment at a hospital in Iowa, so hopefully Im able to be put on a medication to help. Im very thankful I was able to find this early and able to treat it now rather than later. I was mainly scared of how this might affect my future job, with wanting to be a veterinarian. Ik my grandma has it in her hands. That probably scares me the most. Has your guy’s knees locked up a-lot? Idk if this medication will help but I just wanna know what y’all think. Please let me know what you do to help. I have it mainly in my leg’s. Thank you for reading my story!
