Hi! I'm a medical student with RA, diagnosed 10 years ago when I was in high school. The experience of a flare and getting this diagnosis is such a pain in the ass (the literal, figurative, and emotional asses) if we're being quite frank. When I was diagnosed and then later on when I had a rough, persistent flare, the emotional burden was pretty heavy. There was a lot of crying, a lot of anger (at God, my genetics, my immune system, etc.), and a lot of stubborn refusal to utilize or even ask for things that could've made my life a bit easier. You've already taken that step by posting here, so that's one down! This sub and finding peers who either are going through similar things (there were a surprising number of women with autoimmune disorders in my class) or were just good, understanding people made a huge difference for me. If you're comfortable talking about your experience to others, I think might be surprised at how many people know the struggle.

Physical things that I did find helpful:

  • Grippy rubber sheets to help open jars without requiring hulk-like grip strength (rubber bands around lids also work in a pinch). I got mine from my PT but it's similar to these.
    • There's also this one that I've not tried but it looks neat
  • BIG pencil/pen grips are a godsend for achy hands
  • Very cushy tennis shoes. My first pair were Brooks motion control shoes and they made me feel like I was walking on a cloud. You may not want/need that much cushion... it's a lot.
  • If you can manage it at your practice and if typing/writing notes is more of a challenge these days, see if you can get a medical scribe to help you out there.

    Being comfortable talking to people about it might take time, but you'll definitely get there soon. You're a doctor! You've had to learn how to talk to people about all sorts of uncomfortable things, so you can absolutely do this. Remember that although you have this diagnosis, you did nothing to "earn" it and therefore theoretically there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I know it's easier said than done. Try starting with people you know and trust- close friends, family- and then branch out as you're comfortable. I honestly make jokes about my "crap joints" and how "my body is rejecting me" quite often, and I find that the self-deprecating approach works well for breaking tension while talking to others about my RA.

    Finally, it might feel like you're going stir crazy in your own body because doing anything physical is just a recipe for pain right now, but it will get better and you will get back to being active. "Normal" might not be the same as it once was, but you'll re-define it for yourself and your illness. You've just now been diagnosed, so your journey to finding the treatment plan that will work for you is just beginning. I'm sure you know these meds take time to reach their peak effect, so be patient (again, easier said than done, I know) and keep an open dialogue with your rheumatologist about how things are progressing. Be as active as you can stand without hurting yourself, even if it's just walking. Hopefully MTX will fix you right up in no time and you'll be back to doing all of the activities lickity split!

    ​

    Wow, okay, that's a lot. Um...

    tl;dr For ease of use, make things fatter, squishier, or grippier. If you can handle doing a full medical history and physical exam , you can deffo handle the RA talk. It gets better. <3

I have rheumatoid arthritis so my hands don’t always like to work. I have foam tubing on the end of my crochet hook which makes it even easier to crochet https://www.amazon.com/6-Pack-Foam-Grip-Tubing-Latex-Free/dp/B06XTLQ95N/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522379935&sr=8-3&keywords=foam+tubing+for+utensils. I’ve bought extra sets of these hooks and given them to older people, and gave one set to a man I work with who taught himself how to crochet by YouTube last year and because his hands were already hurting. I’ve given away all my other old crochet hooks now because I’ll never use them again.

On amazon you can find "Foam Grip Tubing", specifically designed to slip over everyday items such as toothbrushes and razors. We used them for a while before dad lost all of his ability to hold anything. Not sure if I can insert a link here but search for the quote above and you'll find lots of different options.

I have a neurological condition that damaged the nerves in my hands. Occupational therapist had me using something like these for pencils and such. There are thick-handled crochet hooks out there, but most are still pretty thin compared to these foam grips. Might help you hold the hook with less pressure on your joints, though you'll probably need to thicken said hooks with a roll of cloth or tape to get them to fit in the grips.
