What Is The Authoritative And Research-based Resource On The Diff Types Of RA, E.g. Ccp-negative, RF Positive And Other Permutations?

When I asked my doc, he said WebMd. It's nice but it's a 15 minute read and nonspecific as far as the different types of RA.

Members responded to a question about authoritative resources on different types of rheumatoid arthritis by recommending several reputable sources beyond WebMD, including the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, CreakyJoints.org, and UCLA Health's website. Several members shared personal experiences with related autoimmune conditions, with one describing how Sjögren's syndrome caused neuropathy that improved with Cymbalta, and another explaining how vitamin B6 supplementation resolved their neuropathy when levels were low. A recurring theme was the complexity of RA subtypes and overlapping autoimmune conditions, with members emphasizing the importance of checking vitamin levels and finding specialized, research-based information tailored to individual variations of the disease.

Separate B6...100mg once daily with food. My B12 was ok.

Mayo and Cleveland clinics have sites too. KRISTAKAYTX, get your B6 and B12 levels checked too. I had neuropathy in my feet once when my B6 level was bottoming out. Supplementing cured it.

I found a little info on fatigue but not types. I think that's an area that they are just starting to look into with treatment now for cancer becoming more specific to individuals and cancer types.
