Customer Reviews

Comprehensive overview

This is a good book if you are newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I purchased it about 4 months after my diagnosis so much of the information I had already found through other sources. There is a comprehensive discussion of the various medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, interesting real life perspectives from fellow patients, and a well detailed exercise section.

The Arthritis Foundation's Guide to Good Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis, 3rd Edition

Excellent up to date information.

Good General Guide to RA

So far this book has been very helpful, especially with various issues that affect people with RA. It is up-to-date on the pharmaceutical options for the treatment of RA. A good general guide.

Great Information!

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to learn about Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). It explains, in very good detail, the process a person who is diagnosed with RA will go through. It explains medically what is happening; how to understand the "medical team" that you will have; what treatments exist and their most common side-effects; and coping skills. Anyone who has recently been diagnosed with RA should definitely read this book. Anyone who is supporting a person with RA would also benefit from reading this book. I would highly recommend it.

The best book out there.

I've been very disappointed in the quality of books out on the market about inflammation disesases such as RA. This is the only one I would recommend. It has all the info you need, neatly laid out with great, easy-to-read graphics. Definately 5 stars! Also look for their book on Alternative Therapies. Buy extra copies for your family/friends so they understand what you're going through.
