, I hope you'll ask lots of questions and that your rheumatologist

can come up with an alternative that's OK with you.

All of the DMARDs can sound scary. Try not to worry. People with RA can

You've made tremendous progress with your exercise and weight loss

effort. It's great to hear that your diabetes is under control.

Congratulations!

I'll tell you where to go!
