This splendid volume is easily understandable, uses real-life

science-based advice.--Charles M. Plotz, M.D., Editor-in-Chief,
Rheuma21st.com
Your complete guide to understanding and living well with
rheumatoid arthritis
If you or someone close to you suffers from rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), this book is a powerful tool you don't want to be without.
Two of the authors are physicians at the Hospital for Special
Surgery, one of the nation's oldest and best orthopedic research
hospitals. Its purpose is to arm you with the information you need
to take charge of your disease management and work with your
doctors to develop a treatment program that's right for your
lifestyle and life goals.
In plain English, the authors demystify rheumatoid arthritis-its
causes, progression, and various effects on the human body-and
decode the often perplexing language that doctors use to describe
RA and its diagnosis and treatment. They explain the various
treatment and pain management options available to you and ways to
discuss them with your doctor. The authors also include the true
stories of RA patients whose tales offer encouragement and powerful
insights for dealing with the difficult psychological and lifestyle
issues RA sufferers face. Their expert advice and guidance covers a
range of topics of vital concern to people affected by RA,
including:
* Old, new, and emerging drug therapies, including gold,
corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants
* Analgesics and anti-inflammatories
* Alternative treatment strategies
* Nutrition, diet, and exercise for RA
* Vitamins and supplements, including glucosamine and Evening
Primrose oil
* Managing crucial lifestyle issues such as sports, travel, and
sex
* Pregnancy and RA
* Alleviating depression and pain
* Surgical options, including joint replacement therapy
