RA is rheumatoid arthritis, |

there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but start therapy early could
help induce remission, can conside DMARDs or NSAIDS and maybe local or low
dose systemic steroid, and get started on physical and occupational therapy
early, |

sounds like she has arthritis involvement also, i think she'd need at least
methotraxate, better yet use enbrel or remicade,
i think enbrel is dosed as one or twice a week, i don't think it completely
cure the disease but would improve her symptoms a lot, |

if you are asking about rheumatoid arthritis, for acute flare you can try
steroid, but it will not alter the course of the disease, though it might
subdue the acute inflammation,
if she dosen't respond to regular pain meds the next in line would be
methotrexate, |

to sum it up,you have MGUS of IgG type, negative bone scan, thrombocytopenia
, polyarticular joint pain/stiffness, dry eyes, negative rheumatoid factor,
but i don't know what is 强直性脊柱 in english name,
don't know if you have dry mouth as well, if you have both dry eyes/mouth
then i would think maybe sjogren syndrome, primary sjogren has nothing to do
with other autoimmune disorders, but the secondary sjogren syndrome is
often associated with rheumatoid arthritis, which has morning stiffness, but |

发帖数: 68 | 12 Gout (metabolic arthritis) is a disease created by a buildup of uric acid.
In this condition, crystals of monosodium urate or uric acid are deposited
on the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues. These
crystals cause inflammation and pain, both severe. If untreated, the
crystals form tophi, which can cause significant tissue damage. Gout results
from a combination of elevated concentrations of uric acid and overall
acidity in the bloodstream.

发帖数: 1211 | 15 Rheumatoid arthritis is a pretty common disease, and standard treatment is
well practiced here in the United States. There are many effective
treatments that may not cure the disease but can significantly relieve
symptoms and slow down progression of the disease.
I don't think you necessarily need to go to big medical centers. But you do
need a referral to a rheumatologist. |

发帖数: 1211 | 16 As far as I know, most of the traditional medicine used in the US are
available in China, including some of the newer DMARDs as MontBlanc

that is the situation I heard in big hospital in big cities, I am not sure
about smaller cities.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that many effective treatments are
available. Delayed treatment will result in irreversible damage to the
joints. Don't sit on it and wait :) |

Arthritis of the hip, requiring hip replacement is very common condition. I
doubt her steroid use is the culprit. Long term steroid use can lead to
femur head necrosis, but we are talking about really long term use. |

发帖数: 87 | 23 国内朋友两岁的孩子不幸得了这个病，非常着急，希望能得到些建议。
孩子9个月大时就出现了关节肿胀，由于没意识到问题严重，11个月时才开始入院，现
在一年多了。
目前的症状是多个关节出现肿大，不发病时可以走路，但情况非常依赖药物（Naproxen
），不吃药的话睡觉都会蜷成一团，十分可怜；总吃药的话，孩子很容易感冒发烧，有
时高烧不退，非常危险。
早些时候用过抗风湿药副以少量激素， 效果差，副作用大，才改用生物单抗类药的。
想问问这种病可以长期用药吗？有没有比较好的治疗手段？国外尤其在美国市场有没有
好点的药，能不能直接买到？
谢谢大家了！ |

目前治疗JRA也只有这些办法了。生物制剂也不能一直长期用下去，定期复查定期随诊

1, avoid aggravating activities, such as carrying baby or too much house

You probably know that breastfeeding is best for the first six months of

less likely to suffer from respiratory disease, ear infections, and
