What is recommended for newly diagnosed

[Guest guest]

Hi All-

I have recently been diagnosed with RA. I'm 32 and lead a very active

lifestyle. What seems

to be the best treatment early in the disease? My rheumatologist has stated

that I probably

have a severe case based on my test results and examination. I want to keep up

with all my

activities and would like to take an agressive treatment approach. Does anyone

have any

advice on how to get my doctor to take a very agressive approach and which drugs

would be

recommended? Also I am wondering about nutrition/diet - are there any

recommendations?

Thanks!
