Symptom narrative

Had 2nd Moderna COVID19 vaccine on 4-14-2021. Symptoms related to rheumatoid arthritis started sometime in April, noticed pain in both wrists. This progressed into worse pain and inflammation throughout fingers, wrists, toes, becoming severe and with joint stiffness, swelling, and exhaustion. Saw a rheumatologist in June 2021 and was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Have tried several medications to treat the RA over the course of these last few years with limited success as still experiencing moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Had to resign from my teaching position. Have not been able to play the piano or other musical instruments since April 2021. I was a music teacher and musician and have not been able to work.
