Explaining Your Symptoms
13/12/08: NRAS
This guide has been developed especially for people with rheumatoid arthritis
(RA). The aim of the guide is to help you explain the problems you may be
experiencing and enable you to talk about your feelings during consultations
with your rheumatologist or nurse.
This guide also contains some useful information about medical terms used
when talking about RA.
Nurse Consultant in Rheumatology, Susan Oliver, has helped with the
development of this guide. Susan has 12 years experience as a rheumatology
nurse. Her particular areas of expertise are supporting people with RA and
understanding the treatments given to control the disease. Susan also works with
nurses to help people with RA adjust and come to terms with their condition. The
National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) has also helped develop the
guide.
We hope you find the information in this guide useful.
