The explanation at 2:10 about how rheumatoid arthritis affects the immune system is incredibly clear and insightful. Thank you for making this complex topic easier to understand
I'm 23 and got diagnosed since 3 month ago. But, my doctor prescribe steroid type drugs and make me moon face until now hahaha. Get better soon Krista!! Never give up with your RA!!
I was recently diagnosed with RA and i'm only 26 started showing symptoms shortly after my second Covid vaccine (both were Moderna) back in the spring.
@@demonslayer7137 Swelling that makes your face round, full, and puffy is known as moon face. It's often the result of taking steroids such as prednisone for an extended period of time. Moon face can also occur as a symptom of other health conditions, including Cushing's syndrome and hypothyroidism
Discovered this while researching canine arthritis. Although there are amazing vets who have videos, this was by far the most captivating, comprehensible, and informative.
I spent 25 years with very severe RA. Although various drugs, including Humira (what my Rheumatologist told me was the best they had), kept my joints from becoming deformed they did little for the pain and inflammation, and along with the pain meds and steroids I was required to be on my liver finally failed and I required a transplant. I was given Tacrolimus and Mycophenolic Acid (two immune suppressants more powerful than Humira) to prevent rejection of the liver and immediately my RA symptoms disappeared for good. That was three years ago and they've never come back. I asked my doctor why they didn't just give me them before and was told they aren't FDA approved for RA. I lost over half my adult life to severe chronic pain when all along there were two little pills that would have prevented that. Lost all my friends, my job, my home, never married or had children, lived my entire life in isolation when I gladly would have taken the higher risk of infection the FDA banned these drugs for RA patients for (the same risks associated with Humira, btw). Now I'm 65 years old and I'm somehow supposed to start my life over. I feel like life's played a cruel joke on me and I wish I had never accepted the transplant. At least I would have died not knowing about any of this. Ironically, I supposed to be grateful for all you doctors have done for me. Go to hell.
@@ketno_ah Yes, two pills twice a day since my transplant. Before that, I was on Humari, continuous prednisone steroids for twenty years (known bad side effects with them), Morphine and oxycodone too to try to control the incessant pain and inflammation. That stew of meds is what destroyed my liver in the first place, my doctor told me that.
@@markhirstwood4190 Exactly what I'm saying. Even my Rheumatologist told me those two meds would be much more effective than what he was allowed to give me due to FDA regulations. I don't know if it's cured, but I'm pain and inflammation free, so it's as good as one. I suppose I should be grateful, but I'm 65 yrs. old now and lost the last 25 yrs. of my life and now I'm just going to somehow start life over at my age? And all the while these two meds could have given me a chance at a normal life. That's a very bitter pill to swallow. I'm often more depressed now than I was before when I had all that pain, and the thought of all that time I lost when I didn't have to, when those meds were just sitting on a shelf somewhere and I couldn't have them, has even made me seriously contemplate suicide quite often. I know I should get help, but how can anyone give me those 25 yrs. back? I feel like I've lived a wasted life, and I wouldn't have had to.
@@Dean4511 Hey mate sorry to hear about that 25 Years of pain. I think you should try magic mushrooms pylocibin for the depression and bad outlook of what happen to you. You would only have to do it one time to change the outlook of the rest of your life. I think it would be well worth a try mate. And also do some research about it 👍
This is a great video that allows me to understand the causes of rheumatism from modern medicine. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is because moisture disrupts the original balance of the body. Therefore, during rainy and humid weather with high humidity, the disease becomes extremely severe, which affects daily life. Failure to expel moisture from the body in a timely manner can worsen the condition. The way to expel moisture is more to strengthen physical exercise and soak feet at night to enhance blood circulation, Keep warm in cold seasons, or treat with acupuncture and moxibustion, warm patches, etc
I've had RA since I was 10 months old. I'm almost 45 now and struggling. I do have joint damage and deformities all over but My hands and elbows are the worst. I am having to relearn how to hold forks, pens etc in my current state. The fatigue is the hardest part lately though. Wish that would ease up! I am on disability and I also have glaucoma because of it.
I just came back from being tested for carpel tunnel which thankfully I do not have but they did they say that they thinks it’s rheumatoid arthritis so now I have to go to another specialist. At least now I know what it may be, so now I want to know more about it so thank you for this video
Are you suffering from any kind of deadly diseases for long without any good medical treatment on it. You can get in-touch with Dr omoaga on a youtube channel " who can help you get in rid of it . With his natural herbal medicine.
I think RA partly destroyed my shoulder, wrist and knee before I ever got diagnosed. Medications helps a bit now but not much. How does this happen? How can it come and go, destroy bit by bit, then finally get bad enough to trigger a diagnosis when it's too late? That seems to be my experience so far over the past year or more. Pain would come, maybe for a day then it would go. I'd think my should healed up, from rest, I'd eat a bit more protein and not think about it for weeks. Then new pain would come in the knee, etc. Same. Pain for a few days, then it seemed to heal up and I'd forget about it for weeks. Till eventually, pain came all at once in multiple places and was not healing up over days and days and then I got diagnosed with RA.
I really appreciated how thiS sweet lady explained about RA in suCh a nice easy way to understand!👍I feel that my body iS strugglinG with it and I haVe been fightinG to keep myself out of a wheelchair for years because I was misdiagnosed!😥But, I did meet someone at a buS stop laSt summer and I learnt from him how bad that RA can get because he told me that when he goes to try to straighten hiS right leg out at night hiS right ankle simply turns his foot in whatever direction that it wants to go!😥😥😥I made up my mind to keep on tryinG to figure out what causes RA after seeinG hiS hands that were swollen the siZe of a baseball gloVe!😥😥😥I pray often to God to watCh over him as I haVe great compassion for what he iS dealinG with!😥🙏😇
I was told 21 years ago that I have ankylosing spondylitis, then after few years Arthritis and now Each and every joints are painful through out the day and it becomes worse early in the morning. Please advise me. Thanks

Please be my God Sent.
Are there indicators on which inflammatory substances are most active in a patient? I'm currently on a biological suppressing IL-17 and it's becoming less potent. So curious as I am, I'd like to figure out if IL-17 is the actual delinquent in my body - preferably without the need of trying out multiple expensive bios, each of which having to be faded in and out over weeks.
LOL @ delinquent. Not laughing at your pain, just the mental image of a West Side Story gang of antigens snapping their little inflammatory agent fingers and wreaking havoc. Sorry you're going through that.
I went to the hospital due to severe pain in my knee doc mentioned this also type 3 gout asked if I was diabetic he just gave me steroids and hydrocortisone for inflammation and swelling
Good stuff! Can it affect the bones of the spine? I've got back pain that becomes horrendous when I look down, and a steady 101-102.ish fever. Probably just gonna have to go to the doctor. Might even be COVID?! I've been vaccinated but apparently mild infections can still happen even after vaccination, or so I've read. No breathing problems though, other than pain when I inhale deeply.
What symptoms were you having ? How did they do the diagnosis? I am going tomorrow to see a doctor to discuss my joint pains too, I do have autoimmunity and maybe having RA
@@Calmrelaxingsounds169 joint pains in my wrists hands knuckles ankles all over. Tough to sleep at night in the morning was worse i couldnt bend my knees. It was bad.
That’s why I keep snapping tendons Finally detected above average anti CCP more testing needed but I am glad it’s not Lyme disease that’s how much pain I have been in recently

More women or more men? OMG, not clear explanation
