Well, i think it's one of the first things we should know about RA.. The docs i ve seen don't have clear answers and it's always like "each has different syptoms", "this is an atypical case but it happens", "this is an easy case, you're lucky", "this is a highly deforming ra you've got" etc.. I mean totally different opinions! I guess there are things they don't even know and they just give vague but certain answers, saying everything and nothing.. I would prefer a doctor who would say "i don't know, I ll look it up".. or whatever. When I was first diagnosed doctors were confusing me with different med formulas, so i had to search, learn, choose. And i ll keep doing that.. hoping for the best!

WOW i didn't know there was that many types. I knew there was one or two,but never in my life did i realise there was a 100. It is frightening isn't it. My new rheumy wants me to join him in creating a support group in the hospital,i don't know what he wants me to do,but it is something i have been banging on for a while so we will see.xxxx

Yes, I also read there are 100 types !
