1. There are no cure..as u know, it is your immune system gone haywire and start attacking ur own cells ( particularly joints). It is a systemic disease but most common the symptoms are in joints.
   
   All the medical side of the treatment have been mention and ur doctor might have adviced u about it. I would like to share the alternative therapy which i've seen people with RA( some of them are already in wheel chairs) used and improved their lifestyle and the prognosis of the disease.
   
   Take natural, high quality supplement( try check on Shaklee).
   GLA (there r research prooving that it improve arthritic symptoms), Alfalfa tablets, B complex, calcium(to reapir back the joint) and as an extra-vitamin E.
   Take in doses double or even triple the dosage that is recommended( but make sure that it is natural- as if it contain chemical, u could get side-effects). Regularly, continously, u'll see the results in a month time.
   If ur joints already have deformity, nothing could been done. But all these supplement is sure to improve ur symptoms, no more attack, and eliminates the pain.
   Have a go.
2. You can be treated by taking the simple step of visiting your doctor and taking any medicine he/she prescribes.
   
   Unfortunately there is no permanent cure for the condition.
3. Don't think there is. I have had it for a long time now. My hands are getting more and more knarled up each day.
4. Sorry, no cure. however, it is treated by steroids and/or analgesics.
5. No, there is no cure, but it is treatable. If left unchecked and un treated it could get so bad that you are unable to use your hands.A simple blood test will determine if you have it though.
   While some of the medications are harsh on the lining of your stomach, there are other drugs to counter act that.
6. first go to a good dr. and hope for the best;why I know becouse I have the same.
7. RA usually requires lifelong treatment, including medications, physical therapy, exercise, education, and possibly surgery. Early, aggressive treatment for RA can delay joint destruction.

8. sorry no cure at this time pain management is all they can do This is what my Dr. sold me on my last visit for Arthritis
9. There is no permenant cure but Arthritis can be treated.Some doctors use pills,physical therapy,braces and shots to help with mobility and pain caused by Arthritis.Even if you had joints replaced you will still have some discomforts.
10. Hey I have it. Now I'm a Vet. and depend on sorry veterans healthcare, but I found a Doctor to percribe me predisone 5mg. a day. it helps and I take 8 50 mg. Ultram a day,8 500 mg tyenol, and 500 mg. Lodiene 2 times a day.
    But I still have mornings where I wish I had a sawed off shotgun.
11. From what I have read, the most current advice is adding Sulfur to your diet has some amazing results as well as gin soaked raisins. Maybe these websites can be of some help.
