QUESTIONS COMMONLY ASKED:

What is this and how do I fix it?
Palindromic Rheumatoid Arthritis (PRA) is considered by most Medical Doctors and Researchers to be an ‘Autoimmune disease’ (AI), it is rare and there is no cure.
 
What do you mean by rare? What makes us different?
Palindromic Rheumatoid Arthritis (PRA) is the only autoimmune disease which has an up to 50% natural, medical free remission rate. All other AI (auto-immune) diseases have a less than 1% chance at achieving remission.
 
How did I get it?
The medical professionals all appear to agree on this point and they simply don’t know.

My doctor mentioned Rheumatoid Arthritis, am I going to get it?
Between 30-50% of people affected by PRA spontaneously get better and need no treatment.
25-30% stay Palindromic and get no joint destruction.
The rest go on to develop Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
 
Rheumatoid Arthritis, isn’t that the disease where the joints are affected, does this mean I will be deformed?
