    Kelly, thanks for all you do! Did anybody have any great ideas how we develop this disease? My rheumy said the latest studies show environmental…possibly being exposed to cigarette smoke for prolonged amounts of time?? Please tell me this is a focus! We rarely talk about why we get RA!
    Thanks

      Smoking has long been thought to be an environmental risk for RA. But there is more to the story… and as I read your comment just now, I have a study on my lap about it for a post I’m working on. So stay tuned! The answer is yes – that there are those researching the triggers for RA – the more we understand about what causes it to start, the better we will be able to develop strategies to stop it.
