My sister has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was 23 all over her body. She went on drug therapy which she had a very bad allergic reaction to so she went off of that . It has gotten better with time since she eats mostly organic and raw and accupuncture has done wonders for her highly recommend it!

Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Just because you have pain and fatigue doesnt necessarily mean you have RA. Though it is surely a symptom. Usually they way of diagnoses for RA is with a series of Xrays and blood test. Also if you do have RA you dont want to see a normal GP doctor, you need to see a rhuematologist who specializes in auto-immune disorders which is what RA is. Also usually with RA they take blood test every 3-6 months and check your ced rate, which is how they tell how active your RA may be depending on the results. Also, Fibromyalgia could be an option because IT IS another chronic auto-immune diesease and NOT an "IDK WTF." Though the difference in the two is RA you feel more joint pain and Fibromyalgia you feel more muscle or legament pain, which muscle pain can sometime be felt with RA. Next time you see your DR be sure to ask questions and find out whats going on. Good luck!

Does the medicine for rheumatoid arthritis help?

We Answered:

There are now over a 100 medications and drugs being used in the treatment of arthritis.
The severity of RA can vary greatly from person to person. It is usually a chronic relapsing condition. Chronic means that it is persistent. Relapsing means that at times the disease flares up (relapses), and at other times it settles down. There is usually no apparent reason why the inflammation may flare up for a while, and then settle down.
At the outset of the disease it is difficult to predict for an individual how badly the disease will progress. However, modern treatments can often limit or even stop the progression of the disease and limit the joint damage.
There is no cure for RA. However, treatments can make a big difference to reduce symptoms and improve the outlook.
There are a number of drugs called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). These are drugs that ease symptoms but also reduce the damaging effect of the disease on the joints.
DMARDs have no immediate effect on pains or inflammation. It can take several weeks, and sometimes several months so if you are prescribed them it's important to persist with taking them.
Each one has different side effects, so if one doesn't suit there are others to try.

That's just one group of drugs, it's a matter of finding one, or a combination that is best for you.
Trust your doctor and rheumatologist.
