This is false information. Biologics do not help everyone. There are people who the biologics either don't help or have got them to the point where they are "functioning".
Also I feel it is just as important to put people in the Arthritis Foundation Magazine that are barely getting by with daily chores. Not all medications are miracles for all patients. Some of us with Fibromyalgia on top of RA, that meds aren't helping 100%, are emotionally and physically exhausted. Not to mention the firey burning pain. People are getting the wrong message of RA. I am not saying to stop posting articles of the "winners" of RA, but please give us the same amount of time. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
had to quit work/ PAIN!!!!!. Where do we turn for help?? I have tried to find clinical /studies for RA/arthritis for DX and medications. Do you have info in regards to this?? My zip code is 75409 need a very local clinic that doesn't cost $300.00. If I paid this amount I wouldn't be able to pay bills or mortgage!!!
HELP!!!
I have been suffering with joint pain for many years (17). My doctor recently told me I was in the begining stages of RA. After doing alot of reading on the subject, I realized that my early symptons were not classic RA, so a diagnosis was never made until now. One thing that is now happening to me is: whenever I do any physical activity, such as a work out, or bike riding, or just lifting weights, my body goes into a painful flareup with severe joint and muscle pain for days. Is this common for RA sufferers?
