Frequently asked questions
A rheumatologist is a physician specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of over 100 autoimmune and musculoskeletal conditions affecting joints, muscles and bones.
Persistent joint pain or swelling, morning stiffness beyond 30 minutes, unexplained fatigue, recurring fevers or a positive autoimmune blood test warrant a specialist review.
RF, Anti-CCP, ANA, ESR and CRP are commonly requested. Your rheumatologist interprets these alongside your symptoms and imaging — no single test confirms a diagnosis.
Adherence to treatment, regular low-impact exercise, an anti-inflammatory diet, not smoking and good sleep all help control disease activity and improve quality of life.
Biologics are highly effective and generally safe under specialist supervision. Screening for infections and regular monitoring keep treatment safe.
Diet cannot cure autoimmune arthritis, but an anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean-style diet can support treatment and reduce flare frequency.
