Question by Beccy: Rheumatoid Arthritis? Quality of Life?
I have a very dear friend with rheumatoid arthritis. She is only 25 and has had it since her late teens.
It is very painful for her, she has had multiple broken bones/bone replacements, and is frequently sick. All treatments have failed, except actemra (which she is currently on and is giving her relief).
She is still able to work and lead a very normal life (albeit in pain), but I am wondering for how much longer will she have quality of life?

Question by jezabel: Did the bullet lodged in Roosevelt’s chest cause rheumatoid arthritis?
I saw that on Wikipedia, but I thought rheumatoid arthritis was idiopathic?
Best answer:
Answer by Frank
Theodore Roosevelt had rheumatoid arthritis for years before he was shot. It is claimed that it got worse after he was shot. This does not mean that it caused the arthritis to get worse.

A Thomsonian Naturopathic Doctor’s View of a Common Sense Way Out of the Autoimmune Disease Mess
I am a Thomsonian Naturopathic doctor and follower of Dr Samuel Thomson (the founder 1822). He believed as I have learned from his teachings and my experience that all diseases are actually simple to explain. That the more you complicate disease and medical techniques the more that people are removed from the healing process. One of the results is what you see today in these auto-immune disease epidemic nightmares.
When I was looking at autoimmune diseases in 2004 there were at that time 65 and everyone was shocked at the high number. Sadly these diseases have nearly tripled in that short period of time and today I believe the number is close to 150. But this is not the true number as anyone of those autoimmune diseases can have any number of sub-diseases with their own symptoms. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) for example, has about 100 sub-diseases.
