I’m new to this community and was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis after years of pain I’m still getting used to the idea, the drugs and trying to figure things out. This crippled my grandmother so I am scared. My wife is extremely supportive and I hope to get some insight from this community.

@beardoug one thing I know is the arthritis keeps coming and I have to rely a lot on the history to tell me whats going on.

Hello @beardoug and welcome to the online community.

Sorry to hear you have concerns about Rheumatoid Arthritis it came as a shock to me to. I found this site and helpline very supportive and reassured me I was not alone.

I also found the following courses helped me to understand condition and meet people in the same position or similar to me.
