Live Yes! Connect Groups offer local connections, education and empowerment. Adults living with arthritis from our local community come together for professional- and volunteer-led sessions on a variety of topics, as well as fun group activities.
We offer a place of understanding and encouragement for both people living with arthritis and their loved ones. Group participants become self-advocates, develop self-management skills and learn how to not just survive life with arthritis but to thrive.

Hello to Medina members!! I am new to the group and am looking for a new rheumatoid arthritis doctor. I had one in Akron that I went to for 2 years and he did absolutely nothing for me to ease my pain. I am very frustrated at this time. If anyone has a doctor they can refer me to I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you.
Hello! I got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis this past November and I just got my medication increased because there wasn't enough improvement after 6 months. Do you guys have any tips on how to manage the pain while I'm waiting for the meds to work? I lift weights which helps a bit, but not as much as I'd like. I'm 22 years old and I'm trying to figure out what I can do now that will make my life easier down the road. I'm also worried that I don't have a good mattress for RA because a lot of my pain is at night and in the morning, so if you guys have any recommendations for mattresses I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
I use a heating pad on my hands in the morning while I sit and drink my first cup of coffee. That helps and feels really good on other parts of my body also. Give it a try.
