Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 My mom has RA, and has been too afraid to see a doctor for it (or anything else) and at 62, she moves like someone 30 years older. She is barely able to walk, hasn't driven a car in a few years, and rarely leaves her home. She has taken lots of supplements and made dietary modifications. When I was diagnosed with RA last Jsnuary, the decision to take meds was an easy one. Despite the risks, I knew I didn't want to end up like my mom. S.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 It would be great if your mom could witness your improvements using medication, and maybe she will consider seeing a doctor. I know it must be hard to see her like this when there are meds that could give her a better quality of life. a > My mom has RA, and has been too afraid to see a doctor for it (or > anything else) and at 62, she moves like someone 30 years older.
