MANAGE YOUR RA SYMPTOMS EFFECTIVELY
An effective RA treatment plan should improve your symptoms, reduce pain, and help you reach your treatment goals. If you’re still experiencing symptoms despite being on medication for a while, you may want to have an honest conversation with your rheumatologist about other treatment options.
PARTNER WITH A RHEUMATOLOGIST
Setting goals with a rheumatologist can help you get more of what you want from your overall treatment plan.
In addition to setting goals like relieving symptoms or stopping further joint damage, you should also set goals that impact your everyday life.
