As our son’s parents, we earn $8x,xxx yearly. Would our income exclude him from receiving disability? If he is able to receive disability, how much do you think he would receive each month?

I’ve been to about every website on the internet researching. A lot of the websites offer the same advice about avoiding red meat, animal fats, and drinking lots of water. Some of the sites differ on whether you can eat nuts, cranberries, tomatoes, and canned foods. I was recently diagnosed and I’m not thrilled with the thoughts of taking medications for the rest of my life. I’m an RN and know probably too much about the side effects and complications of some of these medicines. Thank you!!

And also, how does one develop it?

I’m just curious. And have yet to find a good website.

Lately I have noticed a lot of swelling in my joints and I fell a crushing pain in my chest bones whenever I move suddently, sneeze, or hold my kids. I had an x-ray done and I was referred to a rheumatologist. Apparently, I have signs of arthritis. Is this the end of the world? I’m too young. To make matters worse, my husband already has rheumatoid arthritis. Anyone with real answers is welcomed.

One thing I want to do also, is explore diet as a way of treating RA. I just ordered “Conquering Arthritis”. Anyone want to join me for mutal support?

I am 13 weeks pregnant and was also just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I’m pretty shocked, other than the fact that it explains my awful joint pain. Has anyone been through this during pregnancy and have any ideas or advice on how to deal??
is anyone in this stage of life right now?
