RA on Social Media

You prefer to get your information from social media. So where do you go for information about RA? This page is a work in progress and will be added to as time permits.

A word of caution - if your diagnosis is new, then I recommend staying away from blogs & websites that are from other RA patients. We have good days & bad days. Some blogs focus on the bad days which can be a lot to handle with a new diagnosis.
