Hi, I was diagnosed with RA 3 months ago and I want to know why should oli follow diet if I am not overweight?
Howdy, Without going into depth with my backstory (idiopathic bilateral AVN at 16 -> osteoarthritis) that required me to get the chop, I do have a question or two about certain aspects of recovery that I'd appreciate any input on.

Hi all, im currently on methotrexate and have been since august. It makes me quite I’ll and I really want to be off of it, but to be honest I don’t think I can handle any medicine long term.
