biologics really made me sick and just feel horrible all the time. i was on remicade for two years and had to stop because of how it made me feel. not to mention i had a mild allergic reaction during one of the my last infusions. i treat my arthritis now with diet and exercise and even though it’s much harder, it works. please think hard about using biologics… there are other options…
My wife had the same issues with a near useless Rheumatologist and a very helpful GP. Her thumb and first finger on both hands were long since deformed before they put her on the Methotrexate.
As a nurse having to move patients about, she was suffering every work day as the sulphasalazine was having less and less effect.
She is now looking at the cost of the biologics but they are super expensive where we are.
I got RA when I was 21. The doctors in the US waited YEARS before they put me on Methotrexate or gave me any painkillers that actually worked. It was too late to prevent deformities and permanent damage. I don’t know why they waited so long. The worst doctors were so-called Rheumatologists, and the best ones, ironically, were General Practioners or Doctors of Internal Medicine.
that whould suck if i had it in every joint

My daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis when she was 4 years old. She was told (repeatedly) that she would grow out of it in her teens. She is now 21 and has full-blown Rheumatoid Arthritis in virtually every joint (though it moves around) and is running out of ‘miracle’ drugs to try……. has anyone heard of the ‘cure’ of ‘Miracle Minerals’? The website looks too good to be true, although I have seen one posting where it did seem to ‘do what it says on the tin’…
Jayneykerblaney,
I know people whose RA was cured by one glass hot soup from drumstick(a kind of vegegetable) in just about a month.Try if you feel like & if it suits you.
Very good basic explanation, the Proff really does know his stuff, if you get a chance go and see him in Norwich at his clinic. Also NRAS is a great charity which gives lots of support, the forum is fantastic where there are lots of people who are experiencing the same things as each other, again lots of support is given.
very good basic explanation given by the Prof, he is a great man who really does know his stuff. NRAS is a fantastic chrity which offers so much help and support and the forum discussions really help
I’ve always been told that the usual age group for onset is 18-40. My brother has had it since he was about 21 and I’ve had it since I was 36. Are we unusually young to get it then?
The information presented here doesn’t convey the disease in children. It is much more severe, and the numbers are astonishing. More children have JA than MD, cystic fibrosis and juvenile diabetes COMBINED. One in three people have arthritis. It is the NUMBER ONE cause of disability. It doesn’t get the press that other disease get because it isn’t “sexy” — it doesn’t kill you as fast as cancer. It just sucks your quality of life away.
Thank you ever so much for this explanation - very useful! Could you please make another video explaining the primary Sjogren Syndrome, because I don’t thing that our GPs are well equiped to deal with this syndrome. Many thanks.
This helped alot thanks so much.!
my mother had it since she was 11 now she’s 42
alot of people have it in my family now i start to feel stiff now and again and i’m 14
my mum has rheumatoid arthritis - she’s had it for just about 10 years now. She’s only 50, so she’s fairly young
this has helped me understand a bit more now, so thanks
=)
