RA is an autoimmune disease. Did he perform a blood test to confirm RA? You should see a specialist such as an endocrinologist or hematologistt. Search castleconnelly.com for a top doc in your area. You can search for free and it will grant a small list vs. paying for the complete list. Look specifically for a doc whose speciality favors RA. Look into following a Candida Free diet. Do you eat a lot of sugar, white rice, bread and pasta? If so, you must eliminate. Search emily kane’s website.
Well it does sound like it’s probably not a humira side effect (never been on humira, so I can’t say for sure, but even just showing up 3.5 years in strikes me as a modest odd.)
I know that some kinds of RA are associated with Psoriasis, but psoriatic arthritis is usually seronegative (i.e. would not show rheumatoid factor on a blood test.)
The only rashes I can find that are typically limited to just hands and feet are types of eczema, which you said your doc had ruled out (though that doesn’t mean you couldn’t have something else in an a-typical location.) If it’s a direct side effect of the RA I would expect that when your RA is controlled the rash also disappears/shrinks. Is this the case, or have you had occasion to notice? Have you been tested for allergies to other things that might be causing it (particularly anything you ongoing using/intake recently?)
Ultimately, of course, we can’t diagnose you over the internet. You can try the sugar thing, but I wouldn’t expect too much of it. Most foods are converted into sugar in your body anyway. I’m not saying that the sugar thing certainly has nothing to do with it, just that I don’t reckon it’s as likely as, say, food-allergies or irritants. If nothing else, you have a cream that works. It may be a nuisance to use all the time, but you have it under control.
