Hi again,
Yes, I get exactly that feeling when my joints are inflamed. I have never actually mentioned the feeling to anyone, thought they'd say I was mad or just give me that usual perplexed stare and then say it's all down to the disease which I kind of know anyway.
Also, so far, every time I see the rheumy I have had such a long long list of things still pretty bad that I really felt I couldn't add to it so just said "I have a lot of inflammation going on".
It's funny because it does actually make me scratch (even though, like you said, it is pointless) and often when we're out somewhere and it starts I know my joints are going to get worse and I make sure I take an anti-inflammatory that night.
