I am new here. One of my sisters aged 62 is crippled with RA. She has been on a variety of drugs and nothing is working just wondering how others cope. It is all over her body

Thanks in advance

Sue

    Hello @suffolksue

    Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here with us. Here is a link to some information about RA :

    Rheumatoid arthritis | Causes, symptoms, treatments

    It's really good that your sister has your support, family and friends can be key in living with a chronic condition. Was there something specific that you wanted to find out about?

    All the best Joanne

    thank you I am new to this type of tech so finding way around I don’t do face book etc . You attachments were useful and I will share with my sister . Her condition seems to have got much worse this year a flare is lasting a longer time now no respite I am worried she has done long term damage. She is starting that drug I mentioned beg of sept we are hoping it will stall any further progression
