awesome book!
This book thoroughly explains all aspects of rheumatoid arthritis. Information detailed but is explained and easy to understand. Many concepts in this book are applicable for any chronic condition, such as healthy eating and travel tips. If you have RA this is a must read book to help you take care of yourself and to work with doctors to make the best choices for you. Information in this book provides information you need to be involved in treatment decisions.

An excellent, up-to-date reference on RA
As expected from the Johns Hopkins Press, this is an excellent book for RA” It’s very much up-to-date, having just been issued in November of 2024.
Kathleen Wright –
Too technical, lacking everyday guidance
This book is not set up for the everyday person seeking guidance in maneuvering a difficult diagnosis. I returned this.
