After struggling with arthritis for thirty years, I was finally diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and immediately felt vindicated. I had been through a long list of NSAIDS which did not help and only made my stomach hurt. Now, I am finally taking more appropriate medication. Even though I already knew much of what is in The First Year: Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed by M.E. McNeil, I was very happy to get information that I can understand to answer many of my questions.

The author takes a comprehensive approach that includes how to handle stress, plan your activities, organize your information for your appointments, the differences between the common medicines for rheumatoid arthritis and nutrition and exercise among other topics.

The most valuable chapters for me were the one on medications and "joint protections and adaptations.

I would highly recommend this book to all newly diagnosed people with rheumatoid arthritis. (
