Hi Shufu... you know your body, you are not whining if you notice changes..you are being observant, but you need to let a decent Rheumy know of these developments and trust in yourself to know you need some answers sooner rather than later. Sometimes you might need to push it a bit to get something moving...there is nothing more important than your health so try and find a way to move this forward and it will be more positive if you feel a bit more in control of your future and your body....hang in there, take care and be assertive..take your partner with you!!
