Rheumatoid Arthritis Hits Women Harder

[Guest guest]

It was my understanding that RA effects about two third women to a third of men,

and your numbers are even higher. When I asked my Rheumatologist about it her

reply was that they don't even know exactly why people get RA other than it's

genetic, aside from gender issues. But it is a fact that more woman suffer RA

than men. I have given considerable thought to all the people I never saw before

I was diagnosed with a incurable disease myself, and I am kind of grateful that

it is manageable and treat-able. And I often find myself thinking there are a

lot of things worse than RA.
