I just checked my html – that is the link in the post – can’t explain that. Yes, I’m sorry for the confusion – the press release from ARUK is of course well written (it’s their news) it was the one in the screenshot from Daily Mail that had the nutty headline.
Really wish media would use the right words. RA is not debilitating; it is potentially life-threatening. It’s not arthritis; it’s an autoimmune disease/disorder. It’s not remission; it is partial mitigation of the severity. Of course, there’s no money in honesty, is there?
It’s fascinating that this same drug could be used to treat osteoporosis. (Does it have an autoimmune connection?) It could potentially have a large market, which could mean lower prices, wider availability, more studies. Or am I just incurably optimistic today?
It is great to hear that they are constantly working on new cures for RA. With the advances in modern medicines, the cures are only going to keep getting better!
With all the advancements in our technology, lets pray for a cure or at least meds that have less side affects! Taking the meds for RA are as bad as the disease. I just know Im not the same person I was before RA…..would like to be that person again.
That’s exciting news! I tried the link and couldn’t get it to work and in fact it shut down my internet but I did find the article – it seemed pretty accurately written, remmission for months, not a cure but pretty good. Funny how they used such old models when the article talks about people in their working years. Anyhoo, here’s a link to the same info, less flash. http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/news/press-releases/2013/february/first-in-human-trial-of-a-new-drug-for-rheumatoid-arthritis.aspx

As an RA patient, I hope a breakthrough could be right around the corner. I would really like to see a cure.
