Sue in NC - My new slogan: It's the pain, stupid!

[Guest guest]

I had the same reaction, Sue. As obvious as it is to us, it seems that

most doctors still don't understand that pain is a huge problem for

people with RA. Even if they do realize that pain is a major effect of

RA, they don't always do all they can to lessen or eliminate the

patient's pain.

I'm starting a new slogan: " It's the pain, stupid! "
