I can't imagine how other people who say that they have RA when they don't even know about the illness and what it does to a person's ability to be pain free and mobile.
When you are asked about your condition and you say you have RA, then the next answer is "I also have RA arthritis". My answer is I am so sorry for you to have this condition.
This way I am not confronted and asked a dozen questions.
Others whom think that they have this horrible condition should seek medical assistance to determine if it is factual. Or better yet may they should define RA as just R illness and leave the Arthritis out.
