If your rheumatoid arthritis symptoms are under control but you have side effects from medication, you might question whether it’s worth it. It's easy to forget about the benefits of medicine when you feel good.
Talk to your doctor if your treatment causes you problems, no matter how minor they may seem. He or she may be able to make minor changes that can help. For example, sometimes doctors suggest you add another drug to reduce nausea or stomach acid if that's an issue.
