💡Video Key Takeaways
✅ Asking your Rheumatologist questions is the way you will get on the same page as your doctor, and get to feeling better.
✅ It’s ok to ask how they came to a diagnosis and how certain they are.
✅ Don’t just ask about the specific medications, ask your doctor what the goals of treatment are and how you will achieve those goals.
✅ Ask your doctor what tests will be used to track your progress and if there is anything else you can track at home.
✅ No one likes medication side effects, but be sure to ask about specific aspects of your lifestyle that may be impacted by a medication.
✅ Ask early and often about lifestyle changes you should be making to help your Rheumatoid Arthritis.

This was a very good video and people do like to have a glass of wine here and but I agree it’s not a good idea if you take Methotrexate you definitely shouldn’t drink the day before the of or the day after you take methotrexate cause it can also counteract the medication besides the liver damage

So clear, understandable, and useful! Thank you!

Very helpful video since recently diagnosed with RA (both hands). Wondering if more recent shoulder joint pain is RA also.

I asked my rheumatologist if it could be possible that my arthritis was seronegative (not detected by bloodwork, but have multiple symptoms). He told me there was no such thing.

The video has value but the music is toooooo loud in the background and is distracting. Thx

Why did you feel that you should take Dr "Jones" off NSAIDS if they were helping him???

@bonnieodonnell2780 Месяц назад

Sugar, ultra processed foods, too many carbs, yes. I disagree on the red meat.

i’m with you on that three months on carnivore and I am off all meds and holding a CRP marker as steady as if I was still on plaquenil, sulpha salazine and methotrexate and humeria injections.
