When I spoke to my Doctors about it they just assumed with treatments. These treatments are not working.
I am only 18 years old. I have had this disease for eleven years, it started as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis for around 4 years it went into remission and came back to as Rheumatoid Arthritis. I don’t know what to do. I search on the internet for some things but I don’t any straight answers.
I’ve had RA since 1990 and have experienced just about all symptoms including lung nodules, but recently I had a few mini-strokes. Could this be the RA affecting my brain?
I am 16 and my doctor told me i have JRA but before that the problem that lead to me being diagnosed wtih JRA was Metatarsus Adductus or a curvation of the metatarsal bones. So my question is can arthritis cause my bones in my feet to curve?

joint pain in any part of the body can occur with what doctors call flare ups. So far treatment is available & works most of the time but for ex. his last flare up was in his knee, took him to ER, took 4 shots of morphine to ease the pain. Regular Dr put him back on prednisone for anothr 10 days. He has so many meds its unreal.
He is also a diabetic with meds & asthma w/meds whn needed. He doesn’t smoke or drink. He also takes depression med because he is only 41 and isn’t used to sitting around and not being able to work.
My brother was just diagnosed. Is there anything non-medical that I can do for him? Anything that will help relieve some of his symptoms that the doctors can’t help with?

I am happily married, 32 years old, with 2 great kids already. My doctor says that I absolutely MUST NOT get pregnant. I have some menstrual issues as is (heavy bleeding, sever cramping, family history, etc.) but nothing that major. I want to know if a hysterectomy might be the way to go, since any pregnancy for me will result in birth defects, possible miscarriage or could even cause my death. I already take a lot of medications and have had issues with birth control in the past. Please help me out here. I’m stuck.
Last year I began jogging everyday and after about two months of it my rheumatoid arthritis kicked in and my knee swelled up to the point of not being able to bend it. Currently I do lower impact cardio activities but I really enjoyed running and I want to start again. Does anyone know of a good knee brace that will potentially help with the high impact of running so that it does not cause too much stress on my knee?
