Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Yes - but isn't that in rare cases? I think there are lots of diseases with higher odds of killing you. I'm guessing that my odds of dying from RA are much less than of dying on the highway each day I go to work. > Jennie, RA can kill you. > > > > > I'll tell you where to go! > > Mayo Clinic in Rochester > http://www.mayoclinic.org/rochester > > s Hopkins Medicine > http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
