Hi. I don't have RA but we have a page on the Vasculitis UK website describing Rheumatoid Vasculitis that might be useful. It seems that treatment may depend upon the severity of your disease. But I know we have a few people on here with RV so hopefully someone else will see this and post more specific advice.

All the best,

Richard.
