Hi.. Diagnosed 4 years ago with RA and asthma. Asthma severe. Medicated w corticosteroids, prednisone, thyroid 75mg, duo neb., methotrexate, cardizem. Rapid heart rate, weight gain, constant pain and asthma set off with help of laryngeal disorder when exposed to perfumes or smoke. Questioning diagnosis. Quality of life rather poor. Gone from athlete to someone I do not recognize. Negatively affecting my career as a teacher . Ideas on where to go next? Internist, rheumatologist, pulmonologist working together. All started after hysterectomy and parvovirus diagnosis. Joint pain and fatigue rule my life. All my focus goes toward breathing. Welcome ideas
