Rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis

[@tcmforarthritis1975]

Have you asked yourself exactly what your diagnosis has changed? You were diagnosed with arthritis, and that diagnosis is going to bring about some challenges as you move through your life. Arthritis is an extra test that is thrown into your pathway, but it doesn't mean your life is over, it doesn't mean your life will be centered on just the arthritis. After my diagnosis, I was energized to find a way to beat the arthritis. Then as time went on, and the arthritis got worse and I had more and more added on top of that diagnosis, I lost all hope that I would lead a normal life again. I started to believe my life was over as I knew it, which lasted for nearly five years. When you are very active in life and suddenly you are told that you will never be able to do the activities you once did, it's a shock and you really do feel that your life is over. I have now come to terms with my conditions and do the activities I use to do, only now, I have to plan my activities, picking and choosing which ones will cause the least amount of pain and fatigue.

can you have RA in your 20?

[@vladdanila5726]

Faussy Lala Yes, it affects mostly women in the fertile period of life. Basically 30-50 but sure 20 is also possible. If you are asking for yourself, check up with a rheumatologist. If you are asking as a clinician, look up the standard lab work for RA including immunology tests.

This is a poorly made video. You go over RCP and ESR for 5 minutes and then say nothing at all about the x-ray.
