Family Support and RA

Posted on November 19, 2018
View reactions

At times RA causes us to depend on our family members or partner. Family and loved ones may not understand or know how to help. It can be hard just leaving the house, let alone socializing. Support from close relationships is an important part of fighting RA, but connecting can be tricky.

On myRAteam, the social network and online support group for those living with rheumatoid arthritis, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Having to rely on family members is one of the top topics most discussed.

Can you relate?
