I am a newly remarried pharmacist with 11 and 13 year old sons

I was diagnosed with RA on Jan. 27th, 2009. I am a pharmacist...

03/26/09

What is my long term prognosis?

I am 44 and newly diagnosed with seronegative RA.  What prognostic factors are used to determine the severity and future outcome of the disease for me?  My Dr. just told me he has a "gut" feeling my disease will not be erosive.  I don't want a gut feeling, I want clinical data.
