Morning stiffness of the hands and swelling of knuckles... these can be more than the toll of hard work; they can be the first signs of rheumatoid arthritis.

This disease requires constant attention and a disciplined treatment plan to help patients regain control of their lives. This program is part of the award winning public television series Healthy Body, Healthy Mind.
