Accepted Answer

Please : Please don't let your fear of potential side effects get in the way of obtaining proper treatment for your rheumatoid arthritis.  Today, there are many very effective medications to slow or halt the progression of damage to joints from ra.  I urge you to work with a rheumatologist to find the best medications for your individual case.  It's the doctor's job to balance the risks and benefits of any medication against the risk of the disease left untreated.  Without proper treatment, RA can lead to severe disability and even shortened life expectancy.
