My name is Christina, and I am almost 30 years old. I developed an allergic reaction to the DTP vaccine as an infant and siffered with Febrile Seizures until I was 8 years old. I have had Vaso Vagal episodes since I was nine. This year I have been dealing with joint inflammation, pain, and burning in my right knee. This has begun to spread to my left knee, and my right ankle. The rheumatologist I am now seeing is leaning to Rheumatoid Arthritis, though all my bloodwork is normal. My question is I would like to know if there are any reported cases that would link the allergic reaction to the development of RA? Curious since I have had these different issues. Thanks.
