Considering Your Options


There is no “best” treatment for all people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but that doesn't mean there's no “right” treatment for you.

What is the "right" RA treatment?
Depending on how RA affects you, the right treatment is the treatment that best meets your needs. It's the treatment that helps you focus more on your life and less on RA. To help define your needs and find an RA treatment that meets them, review the list of questions below and discuss the answers with your rheumatologist.
  • Have I evaluated all of the potential benefits and risks of my treatment?
  • Am I still seeing the improvement from when I first started my treatment? Is it enough? Is my treatment lasting as long as it used to?
  • Have my symptoms changed? Does my treatment account for those changes?
  • Has RA affected my activity level or daily routine? Is my treatment helping me stay active?
  • Am I struggling with things I didn't used to? How else is RA impacting my life?
  • Am I satisfied with my current treatment method (eg, injection, infusion) and frequency (eg, weekly, monthly)? Is there a treatment that's more convenient for me?

You may also refer to the Arthritis Foundation's Drug Guide, which highlights some important information on an extensive list of RA treatments.
