Questionare for my final paper! | Arthritis Information

Hi everyone! For my final paper in my english class I chose to research Rheumatoid Arthritis. It was a great experience for myself since I am currently going through the process of possibly being diagnosed with RA. As much as the books helped I know those affected with the disease can provide the best answers. So I have a short survey that I am planning on making into a chart and incorporating it into my paper. I would really appreciate your feedback!

1. Have you used NSAIDs?

2. If you have used NSAIDs have you had any side effects?

3. Have you used DMARDS?

4. If you have used DMARDS, have you had any side effects?

5. Have you used naturopathic medicine, this can include natural remedies, homeopathy, acupuncture, etc.?

6. If you have used naturopathic medicine, did it make a difference?

Thanks so much everyone I truly appreciate you taking the time to fill this out and for all the advice so many of you have given me over the past few months!
