As part of the

talk show called
New
Way RA, where she and expert guests discuss
and uncover practical tips for people with
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Facts about RA: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a
chronic disease that affects multiple joints,
causing pain, stiffness, and motion restriction.
Currently, researchers estimate that
approximately1.3 million people in the United States
are affected by RA. The condition can occur at any
age, but is most common in adults 30 to 50 years old
and is two to three times more prevalent in women
than in men. RA is considered one of the most
debilitating forms of arthritis because it can cause
deformity and disability in addition to pain and
discomfort.
