SHOCKING: Serious Complications of Rheumatoid Arthritis! | Rheumatologist Dr. Micah Yu

Tell me what complication of RA are surprising to you!

Dear dr. Micah, your channel helped me learn a lot about autoimmune diseases. Now I feel more confident talking to my doctor. Never stop making these and never change! Thank you for the knowledge.

Thank you doctor for the informative videos especially this one. My RA started with shortness of breath which my doctor diagnosed as acute bronchitis. Afterwards my ankles started swelling and hurting then my elbows and wrists.... I was then diagnosed with RA and sjogren's syndrome. This was around 8 months ago. I'm still struggling despite taking medications, biologics and steroids, however, your videos helped me in understanding my disease and most importantly "accepting" it since I started my journey with the disease in denial. Thank you once again.

I'm one of those patients without swollen knuckles but suffer mostly from neck pain, spinal cord and I'm currently wearing a brace for back support and worst of all that gives me sleepless nights bladder and neuropathy. My worst nightmare. Thanks for educating us

Rheumatoid arthritis sounds like one of the worse diseases to have. Hopeless 😢

Thank you for your videos. I Am Seriously worrying about my future. I used the finish Ironman. Now even sometimes cant go out of the bed. And cannot make anly long term activity plans. Best

Excellent information and advice.I was taken to hospital on the 10 May 2024 and put on a painkiller anti biotic drip and was told my blood analysis was unusual. I have the symptoms of this disease. My left knee was swelled up and locked and was very painful then my leg and foot swelled. Now June 15 2024 I am a lot better even though my ankle and foot are slightly swollen and ache and itch they are nothing like they were before. I went on a vegetable diet and its definitely working after reading an amazing book 'Forks Over Knives' At this stage I am about 80% cured and soon hopefully it will be 100% !!!!! I still get the tingling in my left foot and the aching that is not so bad as it was and I don't need pain killers for. A year back I had gout which I cured by natural medicine but none worked this time. After looking at this video I realised how serious this disease is. My next course is to follow this hospital plane I have been informed of which is another blood test. So here's hoping I will be free from this soon!!!!

Thank you so much!!

I watched all your videos. Very informative

Yes....i've known this for decades...i was diagnosed with it in my spine at age 13....they said it could attack my internal organs...and they said it's not a real Arthritis..& it's not. It's an Autoimmune deficiency, where the body's reaction to imbalance is to attack itself....i had Rheumatic Fever as a small child & I remember the family Dr said i would have Rheumatoid Arthritis when i grew up.....TODAY...Doctors argue that is false, but, it did happen..just as he said it would.

Thanks very much for this information!

Understatement!

I want to learn more

Thank you a lot!

Thanks so much for your Channel, It helps us a lot🙏. The problem un Spain, in Canary Island, is doctora never believe you if you are a young person. In my case, When i was very Young and a sportive girl, they always said that everything was in my mind....now i'm 42 and have some diagnosis but i suspect i have more autoinmune diseases but you need several years to doctor ask for auto antibodies in the blood tests. IS It possible to low until to indetected the auto-antibodies with suplemments and controlling food? Thanks so much for your help 🙏

Very educational and informative video. Thank you, Dr. Yu for all the information you provide. My RA started in my neck...it was very painful. I do have a question for you? Have you heard of the RA vaccine founded by the University of Toledo in Ohio? The vaccine is based on 14 3 3 Zeta protein. It's currently in clinical trials.

Autoimmune disease is poorly named…should be named immune dis regulation. It’s not just genetics, it’s generally caused by infection, or other environmental toxicity. Also RA can be effectively treated many ways including stem cells to modulate the immune system response. The challenge for you as a practitioner is that us patients have a quick fix mentality vs a healing one. Many diseases can be drastically improved but it takes time. Those are my challenges
