Men & Rheumatoid Arthritis Commercial

Rheumatoid Arthritis disease may be more common in women, but men with RA face unique challenges. In their own words, you'll see how RA affects men who live with it. All images are of men living with RA. However, some of them are no longer able to do the things depicted due to the effects of RA.

It was a brave man to put that neck scar in the video! I hope that shows some people this is not "gramma's arthritis" either!

I had to re-upload this video so we lost over 100 views the 1st hour & comments that were made. Please like & comment to help make this video more popular on YouTube! Thanks!

Sorry I at first thought u were taking about AS but AS and RA are close enough I guess ;)

[Topher4334]

Keep up the good fight!!! From one AS warrior to another! Nice Video! Stay strong! Some days that's hard to feel anyway "strong" The only choice we got. some days I feel so beat down, and it's so hard to see any kind of a future! Getting out of the small town Iive in I feel might help, No support around hear at all.. No friends, they all have no idea what I been fighting all these years! It's just a joke to them I struggle so I feel! Anyway, Take care! Chris

Thank you Kelly!

Thanks to all the men that took the time to express things that I could not until now. My wife has RA and I have similar issues although "doctors" are trying to figure all this out.

Bless you all!

the truth is RA isnt going AWAY, but it doesnt have to stand in your WAY. lol, stupid commercials out there who use rhymes to try to get people to remember to buy their product at the store or pharmacy lol

Great!!!! 

[jrf5460]

Thanks. This disease sucks but that does not mean that life sucks as well.

[jsantangy]

Its sad to think that we NEED to have this be a mans disease too. Otherwise "some" think of it as a hysterical womens disease. That's what I mean, what I feel is sympathy and compassion for my fellow R.A. ers...be they men or women!
