Description
Rheumatoid Arthritis Support (RA-Support) is a support group for adults who have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), fibromyalgia (FM), or other rheumatic conditions. Many of us have more than one diagnosis.
At RA-Support, the emphasis is on rheumatoid arthritis and evidence-based medicine.
We are not health professionals and cannot give medical advice; however, we share personal experiences with drug therapies and pain management and coping strategies.
RA-Support is a place to seek information, friendship, and support. It is OK to whine - we expect and tolerate it. Jokes and off-topic conversations are allowed but should be marked with an OT somewhere in the subject line. Flaming is absolutely unacceptable. Selling or advertising goods or services is strictly prohibited. All posts should be signed and trimmed.
For those who want in-depth knowledge about rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic diseases and conditions, research and news articles are posted frequently and discussed, but please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee the accuracy and currency of the information provided.
