Also been in continued conversation with Dr. Schubiner over email, and the first thing he says in his response after I've been explaining my symptoms is you do not have RA. And that my mind is looking for ways to affirm that truth because it cannot turn towards anything else but the...

Doctors office just called me, they said my blood tests look great, nothing abnormal or any cause of concern whatsoever. This is very relieving to hear. I'm going to lean into TMS much more aggressively now as I have no indicators for RA other than stiffness. The pain I've noticed I have some...

To be honest, I've been almost scared to think about the dark parts of the last couple of years deeply. They were some of the most challenging times in my life besides right now. Literally, the last 7 or so years have been extremely exhausting. My parents got divorced, had to move in with a new...

I feel like I'd have prominent signs of RA if that was the case. I don't have morning stiffness, there's been no visible swelling, not once anywhere. I don't really have fatigue now, my right eye has been giving me issues for a couple of weeks and I notice red in my eyes that randomly shows up...

Thank you for this response. I've been slowly accepting that TMS is likely the primary cause. However, I still need to get a blood test done, and rule out anything structural by a general physician. The urgent care doctor told me to stay off my knee and wear the leg stabilizer but I didn't think...

About 7 weeks ago, probably a week or two after I started working at my new job as a software developer, I started noticing that the inside of my right knee started hurting about a week into working. I thought this may have been related to me playing soccer one of those afternoons, so I ignored...
