Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis five years ago, and since then, I've committed myself to learning as much as I can about the condition and the various options that are available for managing my symptoms. I started this blog to document my personal journey and the changes I've made to my lifestyle in an attempt to improve my quality of life. I post about alternative treatments I've tried, dietary changes I've made and mobility products I've found useful. I also post about new treatments that are being developed for rheumatoid arthritis. I hope you find my blog interesting and informative.
