RemedyFind Rheumatoid Arthritis section

[Guest guest]

Hi,

You've been nice enough to let me post here before and I thought I'd remind the

board

members about the Rheumatoid Arthritis section on RemedyFind.

A little background. RemedyFind is a free and unbiased site (not sponsored by

any drug

companies etc.) that lets individuals rate the effectiveness of the treatments

they have

used for specific health conditions. I started it 4 years ago to try to find

help with

treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which I've had for some 20 years.)

After doing

the CFS section I realized the same approach could also work for other chronic

health

conditions, and so the site has now grown to cover some 50 conditions and has

some

85,000 members and newsletter subscribers.

Some 300 treatments are currently listed in the RA section – from DMARD meds to

antibiotic therapies, nutritional supplements, dietary and self-care treatments

(and please

suggest others that should be included). Here is the page for the RA section -

http://www.remedyfind.com/hc-Rheumatoid-Arthritis.asp

Obviously everyone is different, and what works for one person with RA won't

necessarily

work for another, but my hope is that certain trends might show themselves over

time,

and after hundreds or thousands of patient ratings. In the future we will be

adding

features that allow users to view ratings according to specific diagnoses and

subtypes, as

well as according to gender, age etc.. In the meantime, members say that it is

simply

helpful to hear other patient accounts of what has, or hasn't, worked for them.

We'd be honored by any RA treatment experiences you care to share – good, bad or

ugly!

The site is free and members can be as anonymous as they would like - you choose

your

own member name and your contact information is not shared with anyone.

All the best,

Brett Hodges

I have a listing for Rheumatoid Arthritis () on this page (where the group

can actually

be rated for its helpfulness) -
