Hi. Does anyone here have rheumatoid arthritis as well? I have RA, and I'm wondering what will happen with my treatment, meds, etc. I take quite a few meds for RA and fibro.

I realize I may just have to wait till i can ask my Drs. It's just so frustrating and a million other feelings and emotions.

    Hi Lfe406, and welcome to our community. You may find this thread helpful BC & Autoimmune Diseases: How many? What does the research say?, and you may also find it helpful to use the Search box on the left and type in "arthritis". Hang in there!

    I have another autoimmune disease, Hasimoto. I was also very worried about it. Turns out it improved dramatically after cancer treatment, my meds dosege had to be decreased. Looking up recent scientific literature, I found out there is complelling evidence that the autoimmune diseases are caused by malign or benign tumors. They produce abnormal proteins that the immune system recognize, attacking other healthy cells producing similar ones. You might experience an improvement if yours was caused by this tumor. Best wishes!
