Hello everyone, how are you doing today? 💬
Early diagnosis can make a big difference in managing RA. The sooner the disease is detected, the more effectively treatments can be started to help reduce inflammation, limit joint damage, and protect your quality of life. Regular check-ups, whether physical exams, blood tests, or imaging, also help keep things under control and adjust medications when needed.
👉 When were you diagnosed with RA, and how did the process unfold for you?
👉 What types of medical follow-up or regular tests do you currently have to track your condition?
