Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowRheumatoid Arthritis: Could We Prevent It?Rheumatoid arthritis has always been treated after symptoms show up, but researchers are now zeroing in on ways to spot it years before joints even start hurting. Early blood tests could flag who’s at risk, and there’s hope that new treatments might actually prevent the disease from ever taking hold. Imagine stopping RA before it wrecks your joints! Science is getting close, and this could totally change how we deal with autoimmune diseases. #Health #BodyHealth #RheumatoidArthritis10Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowThis Drug Delays Arthritis for Years!Imagine being able to put off rheumatoid arthritis for up to four years! Researchers found that the drug abatacept, already used for RA, can actually delay the disease’s onset in people at high risk. It doesn’t cure RA, but it gives you years without the pain, swelling, and stiffness. Early intervention is key, and this could mean a huge quality-of-life boost for thousands. Would you try it if you were at risk? #Health #BodyHealth #RheumatoidArthritis10Share
rachel60+FollowRA Pain Relief: Not All Meds Are EqualIf you or someone you know deals with rheumatoid arthritis, here’s a hot tip: not all approved meds are the same for pain relief. A new study found that upadacitinib (Rinvoq) gave patients more pain relief than adalimumab (the famous Humira), even when inflammation was under control. The difference was especially clear at 12 weeks, but faded later. Turns out, some meds might ease pain directly, not just by fighting inflammation! #Health #BodyHealth #RheumatoidArthritis00Share
