| Popis: | In this illustrative case, rheumatoid disease changed an active, self-supporting woman into a disabled, dependent and depressed person. When disease activity is continuous, early efforts to prevent severe deformity take on great urgency. It is also important to alleviate the psychosocial impact of the disease, which may well be more than even a highly motivated patient can handle alone. |
