I have had RA for 20 yrs. have tried every med that has come out. I have never been in remission. I continue to have swollen joints, pain & nodules that I have to keep having surgery b/c they are painful & interfere in my daily life. The nodules continue use to come back ! I have a very good & kind rheumatologist & we try everything g together. I just plug along daily & count my blessings I am not in a wheelchair yet. I try to stay positive & not think about the things I don’t get to do.
In a meeting at the National Quality Forum in DC, I just heard a presentation about Treat To Target by Northwestern’s Amy Eisenstein. Given all the other things I’ve seen here about rheumatoligists, I love it.
Any indication of how it’s working out in various patients’ perspective?
