Nearly three million Americans live with rheumatoid arthritis. This year about 200,000 many in their 20s, 30s, and 40s - will learn they have the disease. Almost all of them can lead full, satisfying, and highly productive lives. But if you or someone close to you hasjust been diagnosed, you may feel overwhelmed with questions, fears, and uncertainties. "Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis" is written with the goal of alleviating fears and providing the coping skills needed to meet the physical and emotional challenges ahead. The authors - based at the Stanford University School of Medicine - provide clear explanations of the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. They tell arthritis sufferers why medication, joint protection, physical activity, and good nutrition are essential components of care. They describe specific ways - including safe and effective exercises - to cope with pain, stiffness, and fatigue, as well as emotional responses, reactions from friends and family, and lifestyle changes. In clear, straightforward language, the authors offer practical and usable answers to your questions about rheumatoid arthritis: why is rheumatoid arthritis so difficult to diagnose?; what is inflammation and how does it affect the joints?; how does the condition start and how will it progress?; can I get remission with medication?; what is joint protection?; what exercises should I do and when?; should I change my diet?; how can I decrease pain and fatigue?; should I consider surgery or unorthodox treatments?; how can I handle guilt, anger, or depression?; what should I know about health insurance and medicare?; can I remain independent?; and do I need vocational rehabilitation?
