Rheumatoid arthritis

2015-12-07 19:51:03
Hi my friend has rheumatoid arthritis and she is having treatment but I searched for it out of curiosity and I'm really scared and depressed knowing about the disease, can't get my mind off this chronic painful autoimmune disease. That is why I thought it would be better to consult to a rheumatologist to lose my fear.
