And I had not read that poem before - how well said! I agree that early treatment is the best we have to offer right now. I will continue to report that here. It would make a big difference to have the general practioners be able to recognize that early treatment is important and what early RA looks like. THAT I believe is key - educating those doctors.

Reminds me of the lines by Mathew Arnold, Not bothered to see me crying with pain, That Physician with great name & fame; Shook his sapient head and gave, The disease he cannot cure a name! Kelly, I sincerely hope that you get your 'full-full' glass back. But not to forget, I would still like to add.....the destiny of a RA patient is determined in first six months itself. An early diagnosis n treatment can help everyone keep his/ her glass 'full-full'.
