Dealing with RA is no laughing matter if not treated can cause severe complications I have been on lots of medications and slowly getting off the steriods. But now the RA has osteosarthritis of the right hip. So good luck to you all dealing with this disease.

He also ahd RA and had just about every other joint replaced and was confined to a wheel chair.

As a child this was not scary or different for me it was just uncle Albert. He died before he was 40, I was14 at the time. Forward to me @ 27 being DXw/ RA = terrified becuase Uncle Albert in a whellchair is now a possible reality. He lived the best way he could with the treatments availible then.
Now research really has come a long way. I just hope there’s a treatment that’s gonna work for my friend Eric, as he has been on this trip for over a year now w/ no relife from any thing and is now on Humira. We are praying.
