Pain In Legs And Joints, Mood Swings, Hair Loss. Could You Suggest Any Test Apart From Rheumatoid Arthritis?
yes I have had pain in my legs since I was 18 months old. I am now 30 and pain in legs and joints. Also I have mood swings and hair loss, fatigue. could you suggest something to test for other than RA numbers were not high enough for that and most tell me nothing is wrong. I know something is wrong but am at the point of giving up after 29 years of no answers
