I was diagnoised a few months ago with Ra, I was starting to manage my symptoms and meds, but noticed new things. I have a Remotologist appoint coming up, but I want to know if anyone else has experience this?

Besides the usual joint pain, morning stiffness, and all around fatigue, in the past week I have had bruising around the joints of my fingers and toes as well as mouth sores.

Any ideas? They never ruled out lupus, so I was wondering if these symptoms more align with that?

Your new symptoms could be side effects of your meds. What meds are you on? MTX can cause the mouth sores. Are you taking folic acid? Let us know what meds you are on and please join us on RA Connect. That part of the forum is much more active. ss
