Dropsies

Over the past 5 days to a week, I have been dropping everything. It's like as soon as I pick something up, it just slips out of my hand (fingers). Last night I picked up my camera, and I didn't even get to switch it on before it left my hand and went flying across the room and onto the floor.

Anybody else get this? I'm not liking it.

" Yep! I had no idea this was a s/e of RA. Great. LOL, Glad you brought it up though because now I too understand.

I will say though -if you were in a car accident, it could also be related to that as well. I have a friend that didn't realize she had some spinal damage from a car accident, and dropsies was a huge factor in her figuring out that she did in fact hurt her spine.

I guess I am suggesting that it is very possibly due to RA but I wouldnt' chaulk it up to RA if there is a possible other source.

Sounds like when RA is under control people aren't having as much dropsies symtoms. I wonder if you are indeed going into a flare? "
