Talking to your doctor

It is important to recognize all aspects of being a human which includes being a sexual human being. Bring up the topic.  Discuss sex with your rheumatologist and primary care physician.  Discuss how RA is affecting your ability to enjoy all aspects of living, including sexual activity.  Discuss how RA is affecting your relationships. Don’t be shy, this is something that maybe your rheumatologist isn’t in the habit of discussing with RA patients.
