This book is a must,
By
This review is from: The Arthritis Foundation's Guide to Good Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis (Paperback)
If you or a family member or a close friend has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, this is the book to read. It explains the various aspects of the disease, what one can expect to happen, how to cope with the pain and how to organize your life in order to minimize the stress the disease can cause. The book does not candy-coat the disease, but does show how it can be managed. It explains the different drugs that are available to help and it explains their side-effects, also. There are helpful hints to diet and exercise, as well. I found this to be a very important book for me because it gave me the ground-work for dialog with my doctor. I am glad I found this book.

This review is from: The Arthritis Foundation's Guide to Good Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis (Paperback)
I've been very disappointed in the quality of books out on the market about inflammation disesases such as RA. This is the only one I would recommend. It has all the info you need, neatly laid out with great, easy-to-read graphics. Definately 5 stars! Also look for their book on Alternative Therapies. Buy extra copies for your family/friends so they understand what you're going through.

This review is from: The Arthritis Foundation's Guide to Good Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis (Paperback)
So far this book has been very helpful, especially with various issues that affect people with RA. It is up-to-date on the pharmaceutical options for the treatment of RA. A good general guide.
