Like the 1.3 million Americans affected by rheumatoid arthritis, Andrea, Patricia Ann and Ken are at different stages in their lives and their RA. One important similarity — all three benefited from the information they found in the Let’s Talk RA Program.
Diagnosed just three years ago, Andrea is committed to do everything she can to best control her RA while keeping her lifestyle as active as possible. (Think water aerobics, walking, gardening, etc.) Let’s Talk RA helped her to gain the skills to feel organized, confident, and assertive with her doctor.
Patricia Ann, a proud grandmother of four, has coped well with RA for more than two decades. Through Let's Talk RA she learned how to fine tune her patient-doctor skills to include pre-planning what she wants to accomplish at each appointment with her rheumatologist.
Ken knows the ins and outs of dealing with RA, having had the disease for more than half his life. He’s usually the person that others come to for advice about RA but this family man found some great ideas in Let's Talk RA. He now brings notes with him to make sure he maximizes time spent at each doctor’s visit.
