Looking Back
When I look at the way my RA started I can't help but wonder about what triggered it. From the things I have learned something starts the body immune system, then the system gets confused and attacks itself. Looking at the fact my body was fighting something in the late summer and by January I had RA -- what made it start? I suspect it was a virus of some sort.
There is some research that supports my thought. The question is what virus -- no idea -- I don't remember being sick with anything.
It is really frustrating not knowing what started all of this.
