How to make the most of every appointment

Thinking about a change to your treatment plan? Follow these 3 steps to help you get the most out of your next rheumatologist appointment and help you ask for RINVOQ >

One

Start setting goals

An effective rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment plan can start with setting the right treatment goals and working with your rheumatologist on a treatment plan to help you reach them. Goals can be both personal and clinical while aligning with what matters to you. Speak up, be honest, and make sure your voice is heard. 

Two

Take the RAPID3 Assessment

Use the RAPID3 calculator to find out how RA impacts you. Your RAPID3 score can help your rheumatologist create your treatment plan.

Three

Don’t settle for “good enough”

If you’re still experiencing the symptoms of moderate to severe RA and not reaching your goals, ask your rheumatologist if a change in your treatment plan is in order. This Appointment Checklist provides tips for having a more open, honest, and productive conversation with your rheumatologist.
