Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis
I have been living with Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 12 years, so I wanted to gather the most useful information and links that I have found over the years, to hopefully help others that receive this life changing diagnosis.
I am a real patient that lives with this disease. I created this lens to provide support and information for other patients. I am not here to sell you snake oil, or take your money in order to profit on your pain. So many lenses and websites seek to take advantage of those of us with chronic illnesses in order to make a quick profit. My advice to anyone living with arthritis, is to find a doctor that you trust, and don't be fooled by magic pills, creams, and potions that promise to cure your disease.
I look forward to meeting other people with RA. Please post your comments below, or feel free to contact me directly

Get Moving!
exercise is the best medicine
Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds
This is my favorite exercise program and I do this several days a week. There are three DVDs from an easy 1 mile to a high energy 3 mile. The exercises are easy on the joints, yet they really help me with my mobility and energy level.
Tai Chi for Arthritis (6 Languages Edition)
This is a wonderfully relaxing program designed specifically for people with arthritis. I enjoy Tai Chi in the evening, or on days when I want a quiet workout. This is great for beginners.
Chair and Standing Routines: Ageless Yoga, Vol. 1 - Great for Seniors and for People Unable to Sit on the Ground
This is a wonderful program of gentle exercise for seniors and others with more severe arthritis, or those that have been inactive for a long time.
