rather newly diagnosed with RA and this may be covered elsewhere but... does anyone have a goto article or explanation that may help those around me understand the disease better?
not sure people/ loved ones around me understand the pain and fatigue that accompanies this disease, everyone just says, "you look fine"
thanks
The artrhitis association helped me a lot to see the over all experience and symptoms. I can't say any specific article because most articles online aren't peer-reviewed or creditable. It's mostly like blogs and stuff like that. Google arthritis association and they have tons of material on all types of arthritis
I love the RA Warrior website. It has so much info on it!
Type 'The spoon Theory' into your search engine. This explains perfectly how it feels to suffer from an 'invisible illness'. It is a revelation for friends and family of those with clinic illness.
Sorry I made a mistake it's arthritis.org or google arthritis foundation
