The right self-care strategies can help you reduce and ease flare-ups, and protect your overall health. Ask your doctor:
- How often should I rest, and what should I do if I have trouble sleeping?
- What kinds of exercise are safe, and what should I do if I feel pain during exercise?
- What can I do to make daily activities easier?
- What vaccinations should I get?
- What RA complications should I be concerned about (such as heart disease, anemia, osteoporosis, eye problems, and lung problems)?
- What can I do to stay as well as possible with RA?
