Sue and anyone who has just learned you have RA.

Friday, October 10, 2008 at 04:56 PMJust remember it is another of those things that are hard to live with. Talk with those of us who have had it a long time and listen carefully. Keep your body moving and weight down to a healthy range. Exercise as much as your body can handle. Listen to your Dr. I hope he specializes in RA. Take as few pain med.'s as possible. That way when you get older and everything else hurt too, you will nor be too tolerate to pain killers and they will work better.
RA is not a good thing to have but there are things that are more unmanagible. I have not been on this site before and glad that I happened on it too. God Bless, Opal

didn't listen in the early years. I am now paying for it. I just found out about a
year ago that I have OA also. That can get tough when you have both.lol There
starting me in a pain center on the 16. So any newcomers don't be a hardhead like i was.
