See below: Looking over what details you have provided, you are not listing any medications that are disease modifying agents to treat RA which is a concern. Also if you do have ra, do have RA lung involvement in addition to the copd? You need to meet to with your rheumatologist, but also consider seeing a pulmonologist.
