First read RA Warrior’s articles

Then read:
A Time To Laugh
As my comment currently is awaiting moderation, I’ll post it here:
Rheumatoid Stupidity – Condition affecting 90% of doctors and 90% of laypeople causing them to believe RAD can be cured with high dose aspirin and ibuprofen treatment! AAARRRGGGHHH!
Rheumatoid Typography – Lack of responsibility in reviewing one’s dictation in case a typist didn’t understand what you said (“uterus” instead of “arthritis,” for example).
Rheumatoid Irresponsibility – When medical reporters don’t bother even to look in a medical dictionary, much less in Rheumatology journals and textbooks, before writing articles with serious errors that lead to further misunderstanding about Rheumatoid Autoimmune Disease.
Rheumatoid OCD – Clinging obsessively and compulsively to old terminology that does not promote better understanding and treatment of an extremely serious and all-to-commonplace disease that has a high disability and death rate.
Lord, Have Mercy!!
