Questions
 
True
False

At first, rheumatoid arthritis usually only attacks a few joints, but over time it affects more.

Explanation:

Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include joint pain, swelling and stiffness. At first, rheumatoid arthritis usually only attacks a few joints, but over time it affects more. Many people experience worse RA pain in the morning or after they’ve been sitting or lying down for awhile. It can also cause fatigue.

2

Rheumatoid arthritis is linked to heart disease.

Explanation:

Unlike some other types of arthritis, the chronic swelling from rheumatoid arthritis can cause permanent damage to the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is also linked to heart disease.

3

Biologics are not a good treatment option for rheumatoid arthritis.

Explanation:

Rheumatoid arthritis treatments include disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics (medications produced from living organisms or components of living organisms). Other medication options include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and analgesics (painkillers).

4

If you aren’t responding to first-line rheumatoid arthritis therapies, then your rheumatologist may be looking at offering you a second-line therapy.

Explanation:

Second-line therapies are a major advance to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and may be pills, injections under the skin or intravenous infusions.

5

Only heavy smoking is linked to an elevated risk of rheumatoid arthritis.

    Negligent at best and that is being generous. It’s not just him. It’s the culture of his office. No one picks up the phone EVER.

    Switched from Dr. Ghelani to Dr. Lau (who is taking over Dr. Ghelani’S pt) I work in health care and have also been chronically Ill for 17 years. My mother accompanies me to all of my appts. We didn’t even get an introduction or hello when he walked in the room. (New doc, new pts) He was extremely dismissive. He would speak over me and not let me finish my questions. I have an extensive health history and current health issues so each of my appointments are very important. He told me my joints aren’t swollen with no physical assessment or even visual. (I was in track pants and sweater) He told me I am on the highest dose of MTX which is not true. (Not even close) He told me he will not treat ANY pain in his pts. (Including NSAIDS). As fast as he came in, my mother and I were hurried out the door. And then, at the front area, in front of other pts; he proceeded to discuss an MRI and medications. I could give more examples but I’d don’t want to sit here and replay it all. But overall, the interaction was terrible and I left crying and feeling absolutely defeated. I would like to say clarify that the staff are absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Anyways thanks for the read

    Last August I had a very awful flared in my body and I didn't know what was happening. It got so bad that I can't move without being in pain plus my body was super red. Lucky my folks drive me to the hospital. The doctor there did tests on me and he said that I have psoriatic arthritis. Couple days after I called my skin doctor and he set me up with Dr.Lau it was pretty good but yesterday sucks. He ran me out of the door and told to go see a pain clinic I was trying to tell him I wanted to see about my tension flared up in my body but he didn't listen to any word coming from my mouth. Dr. Lau made me feel crazy ,awful and It very affected me.
