<p>HGFM: My H is a Rheumatologist. He is actively involved in research and knows all the really great Rheumatologists throughout California and the US. There are several new, fabulous biologics made available in the past few years that have made huge inroads with RA. Hopefully, your mom is being seen by a Rheumatologist that is current on the latest treatment for RA. I see you live in Lakewood/LB. We are in Rossmoor/Seal Beach so we are neighbors. PM me and let me know who she sees for her RA and where she gets her care. I might be able to give you some names to share with your mom. RA is a nasty disease and for many years there were no new drugs, but the last several years has shown amazing developments. There is hope. </p>
<p>Interesting that your brother has Crohn’s. One of the new biologics used for RA is used for Crohn’s too. </p>
<p>Take care and hang in there.</p>
