My friend is in so much pain thru out her body. the doctor said she has Rheumatoid Arthritis. The medication is not working. Could you help her. She had these pains for years not going away.
I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.
Has your friend been checked for fibromyalgia? Show her this web site from the Mayo Clinic. More and more doctors are finally realizing that fibromyalgia is a serious problem and there are new medications that have been recently been approved by the FDA to treat it.

Has your friend gone to a rhumatologist? It wasn't till I did that I was told that I have Fibromyalgia. Most general practice miss read the tests and my dr said she sees misdiagnosis's daily. You need to be tested for EVERY THING and then and only then can thay say its fibro we tend to have higher rh but that does not mean it is RA...I now take Immunocal and I have begun to get my life back...check out my blog and website
and yes the mayo clinic is awesome also http://bydls.com/ (but you dont look sick)
