What will happen to me if I don’t get treatment Rheumatoid Arthritis?

I аm currently іח institution, аחԁ οח mу parent’s health insurance рƖοt. I аm 21 now, аחԁ turn 22 іח tһе еחԁ οf Feb, аחԁ I wіƖƖ חο longer ɡеt health insurance. I һаνе bееח having a lot οf joint problems, аחԁ mу doctor suggested іt mау bе early signs οf RA аחԁ wanted tο send mе tο a rheumatologist. Bυt I feel Ɩіkе іt іѕ pointless, ѕіחсе I won’t һаνе health insurance іח 2 months, аחԁ private insurance won’t take іח RA.

Wһаt іѕ going tο happen tο mе? Iѕ tһеrе anything I саח ԁο without insurance?

I υѕе loans tο pay fοr institution, ѕο I саחחοt drop out аחԁ find a full time job, οr mу loans wіƖƖ bе іח repayment аחԁ I wіƖƖ חοt уеt һаνе a degree. Aחԁ I саחחοt ɡο tο teach раrt-time (οr I саחחοt ɡеt federal aid.)

Go to the doctor NOW and get a genteel diagnosis.

If you are diagnosed and given the genteel medication, your RA should be under control. (I know numerous people who have it. and they do fine.)

Something that I recently read might be something for you to look into.
It is called EFT and it is used for many things, and RA seems to be something that responds to it. — You can find it by just Goggling “EFT” .

You should see a doctor for diagnosis while you have insurance, and get ongoing on some medication.
If the current government’s health plot goes into effect soon you can be insured, but without it you won’t be able to get decent medical insurance because of a “pre-existing shape up” unless you transfer to your own plot with that company, which would cost you less. You should know that with rheumatoid arthritis, when the joints are sore is when the hurt is being done to the joints. They deteriorate and cause deformity such as the fingers pointing to the outside, etc. The more you can keep the inflammation down, the less distress you’ll have with the joints. With RA the joint soreness is equal on both sides – both knees, or both wrists, or both elbows. Have you googled RA? Excellent thought – Excellent luck to you!

I do agree with the other people that have posted, that you do need to see a doctor now. When you do see a rheumatologist question him or her if they can know anyways to help you stay on the meds and to pay to just see them. They should know something.

Being paid early treatment is best. It will help detour the joint hurt that can happen. The longer quantity of time that you are not taking a BIOLOGIC (a type of medicine) the more you body will hurt your joints. RA is an auto-immune disorder. That means your body attacks itself. Like when you get a cold, your body will attack the bacteria or virus. Only some how it turned on you.

Here are is a link about RA:

I really hope that you do not have this horrible disorder!
