Positive stories - RA

user2024

Hi All,

A loved one has recently been diagnosed with RA and it has petrified me. I keep reading all the negatives surrounded with this chronic illness. Please can you share stories of positivity and cases where people have gone into remission or medication has worked with little to no side effects? It’s so difficult seeing loved ones in pain, pray to God that one day everyone can go into remission and Doctors find a cure for this 🙏🏼

Hello @user2024 and welcome to the online community.

Sorry to hear your concerns about your loved one.

I was diagnosed last year after being a fit and healthy person. It did as you petrified me and I am continuing to fight the disease with support from hospital doctors and support groups.

I feel understanding helps me manage my condition and trying alternatives to find what suits me best.

Everyone is different but the following information maybe of use to you…..
