    Hi yes I get mouth sores and ulcers during a flare, the frequency depends on how often I flare up as they are definitely linked to when the conditions worsen as I get other symptoms too. My nails are shocking, ridged soft and peeling. I assumed they were due to the arthritis but nobody ever mentioned this as a symptom.

      Half My bigtoe nail turned brown and disconnected from the skin under, and I got some small blisters on hands that iched alot.  My doctor doesn’t recognize this as one of the symptoms of rea( together with all the other symptoms in five months as well) even though it’s so clear to me. Even the reumatologist didn’t want to put that together. Why are they so stubborn and anti rea?

      I don't get ulcers or sores anywhere but my mouth but in general, my mouth and eyes get very sore. My nails are super bad, you can even see when I had a flare on the length as they grow. In the passed I can see that some other people on here have had really engaged doctors - mine not so. I wonder how well known it is sometimes. Hope you're feeling better soon.
