Hi.. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease which can be controlled with medications... Absolute cure is may not be possible.... With good medications and therepy you may be able to control the condition better.. The treatment may involve use of medications such as pain killer, steroid course/drugs for immunomodulation.. If these fail to control the condition then there are interferon which can be used.. Modification of lifestyle to prevent aggravation is needed.. No particular exercises are needed, the more rest given during pain, the better the healing would be.. What exactly the treatment options are would be decided by her treating doctor and these are only for information purpose.. Hence discuss with your doctor...
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease (where the bodies defence mechanism starts attacking its own cells) , which is not curable, but can be very well controlled with newer modalities of treatment.
Latest consensus for treatment among the rheumatologist is to go for early aggressive treatment to prevent deformities.Newer modalities of treatment include biological agents like Etarnacept which is seen to provide very good results in Rheumatoid arthritis. Although cost is a concern.You can discuss the options with your rheumatologist.
She can take any kind of food she likes,but a general opinion is to avoid fatty food ,and a low sugar diet as long standing rheumatoid arthritis has a potential to cause atherosclerosis (thickening of blood vessels) which may lead to heart problems.
She has to be in regular follow up with a Physiotherapist to keep her joints mobile and supple.
Regular treatment and physiotherapy can prevent joint damage and she can lead a good healthy life.
