Dear Beverly Joan,
Oh dear I do hope you have an good plan for managing your RA while healing!! The heart doc in my case said 'didn't want me to take RA drugs' My RA said just WAIT ONE WEEK!! What?? I ended up not getting real relief until a month ago. I sure hope you do better than I did! Ask them, WHAT happens to my RA during, stress, after--the stress, and what about healing (will RA drugs prevent healing???) that's what they told me.
