((((((((((((((((( Stringies ))))))))))))))))))), oh no...you can't have RA lung disease.

Arthritis for 12 years.
It took a while to diagnose because although I have the symptoms of RA I actually have enteropathic arthritis caused by an autoimmune disease, Crohn's.

Hi Molly!
Thanks for posting that, Molly. That really hits home with me since my dad, who developed RA later in life, died of lung complications from pulmonary fibrosis. Even though he quit smoking many years before he died, I'm sure that attributed to some of it, along with all the smoke from being a chef. It's always in the back of my mind that I might also develop a lung infection like my dad.

I've had RA for 12 long years now. I can always keep track of how long I've had it since I developed it shortly after my first daughter was born.
