I am 25 years old and I have a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis. I have had this chronic, debilitating disease for 3 years now. I just need advice, comments, ideas, or anything to help me cope with this disease. I am trying to education myself about this illness.

Also, does anybody know where I can get support from others? Sometimes I just need someone to listen or who can relate to me.

I have been begging my mom to go to yoga class with me because her rheumatoid arthritis is getting worse. Her hand is deformed from it. She thinks it will make it worse,but even her dr. said she needs to do yoga or she will be paying $1200.00 a month for shots for her arthritis. Has anyone had a good experience with yoga?

I am having my widsom teeth extracted on Friday and I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am being “put under” with general anesthetics. Are there any extra risks involved with being put under because of the Rheumatoid Arthritis? I will be stopping my meds before and after the surgery, but just wondering if that alone will keep me safe.

I have to do a research paper in medical terminology and I decided I would write about my mom’s rheumatoid arthritis. In the research paper I am supposed to pretend that I am a reporter discussing a disease. I wanted to interview my mother about it, but what would be some good questions to ask her about it?

rheumatoid arthritis is a disease caused in part by this organelle. when it becomes leaky, it releases digestive enzymes that normally digest waste products and other materials. if released into the cell, these enzymes degrade cartlidge in joints.
