Did you know? 🤔💭

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects approximately 1% of the world’s population.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is more common in women than men, with women being two to three times more likely to develop the condition. Scientists believe hormonal factors may play a role, but the exact reason for this difference is still not fully understood.

There is currently no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but with the right treatments and medications, it can be managed.

Living with Lupus? You’re not alone. 💜

Lupus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease, in which your own immune system attacks healthy cells and tissue in your body.

The Lupus Foundation of America estimates at least 5 million people worldwide have a form of lupus. Ninety percent (90%) of people living with lupus are women.

On average, it can take nearly 6 years for people with lupus to be diagnosed, from the time they first notice their lupus symptoms.

There is no cure for lupus, but with the right treatments and medications, it can be managed.

At Rheumatology Associates, we specialize in understanding lupus and creating personalized treatment plans to help you feel your best. 💜 Let’s tackle lupus together.

🧠 QUIZ TIME!

Which of the following is TRUE about Rheumatoid Arthritis?

A) It affects over 1.3 million people in the U.S.
B) About 75% of patients with RA are women
C) There is no cure for RA
D) All of the above ✅

That’s right! RA is more common than people realize, disproportionately affects women, and while there’s currently no cure, it can be managed with early treatment, medications and lifestyle adjustments.

🧐 so what is RA?
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing inflammation that can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and even joint damage over time. It can also affect other parts of the body like the lungs, eyes, skin, and heart.

Unlike osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear, RA is systemic — it can impact multiple organs and often starts between ages 30–60. Early signs include morning stiffness lasting longer than 30 minutes, fatigue, and symmetrical joint swelling (usually starting in the hands or feet).

If you’re noticing ongoing joint pain or fatigue, don’t ignore it. Getting evaluated by a rheumatologist early on can make a big difference in long-term outcomes.

“Don’t focus on the pain. Focus on the progress.”

Living with a rheumatic disease or chronic illness often means facing daily discomfort, fatigue, and setbacks that can feel overwhelming. But progress isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s the quiet victories: getting out of bed on a tough day, taking your meds consistently, moving your body when you can, or simply listening to what your body needs.

Pain may be part of the journey, but it doesn’t define the destination.

At Rheumatology Associates, we’re here to walk alongside you — not just to manage symptoms, but to help you celebrate every small step forward. 🤍

QUICK TIP ‼️

DON’T SKIP YOUR REST DAYS.

When you’re managing arthritis or an autoimmune condition, movement is important — but so is rest. Your body works hard every day to fight inflammation and protect your joints, and sometimes the most healing thing you can do is slow down.

Pushing through pain or fatigue can actually make symptoms worse and increase the risk of a flare. Rest isn’t laziness, it’s a powerful part of your treatment plan.

So give yourself permission to take a break when your body asks for one. Alternate activity with recovery, and remember: pacing yourself helps you do more in the long run.

Dr. Jeremy Schue, M.D.
Another 5 star review ⭐️

“I have been going to Dr. Schue for a few years now. I absolutely would recommend going to see him tor RA. Dr. Schue and his staff are outstanding! They know that your time is just as important as theirs. I have never had to wait very long in the waiting room to be called back, nor have I ever had to wait for a long time for the doctor to come into my room. When I first learned that I had RA, I was scared. I went to see Dr. Schue, and he took all of my fears away by explaining what RA is and how it is treated. I like how Dr. Schu listens to my concerns, and he answers any questions that I have. He is thorough and genuine. If you have concerns with your RA, I would definitely recommend coming to see Dr. Schue.”
