Product Description
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a disease characterized by inflammation of the joints, is one of the most disabling forms of arthritis and affects over two million people in the United States. Without proper treatment it can lead to long-term joint damage, chronic pain, loss of function, and disability. From the first moment of her diagnosis, author M.E.A. McNeil took charge and educated herself on every aspect of her condition. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides those newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with RA. McNeil provides crucial information about the nature of the disease, treatment options, diet, exercise, social concerns, emotional issues, networking with others, and much more. The First YearRheumatoid Arthritis is an essential resource for everyone who wants to be an informed, active participant in the management of their condition.

Thorough, Informative & empowering January 17, 2008
M. Forman (Seattle, WA USA)

I was diagnosed in Apr07 and didn't find this book until Jan08. I wish I had it earlier! It has all the necessary information and recommendations all in one place. She addresses key priorities, medications, holistic approaches, nutrition, organization, information resources, self-motivation, exercise and remind you that you can still have a life with RA. This book has it all and provides a good basis for someone to be able to plan and take control of their own future care. I especially like that she provides empowerment to the individual and remind them to use the support of their "team". This book reminds me to see beyond other people's misconceptions and be able to plan for a very mobile future!

I am a newly diagnosed patient of Rheumatoid Arthritis and this book is easy to read and understand. Although this is a chronic disease, this book has given me hope. I am 53 and was diagnosed early enough that my symptoms may be able to control. Wonderful,inspiring, and educational book. Thank You M.E.A. McNeil!!
