What if autoimmune diseases came with a rule book? In a comment on Wren’s Rheumablog, Laurie says,
Nothing should be allowed to hurt for more than a set amount of time. Should be an RA rule or something….
I agree wholeheartedly! RA needs term limits. In fact, it needs a whole rule book on how to play fair.
- Only one set of joints at a time
- Term limits
- Must respond to DMARDs
- Opponent (patient) is allowed an unlimited number of time-outs
- Penalties: if RA doesn’t play according to the rules, it’s expelled!

Feel free to add your own rules in the comments section!
6. Not allowed to flare before major life events or trips
If another ailment or disease needs your attention then RA needs to back off until you are better!
