Editorial Review:

Arthritis Without Pain is a timely publication about a long-awaited breakthrough for arthritis pain -- a category of drugs called TNF blockers.

The miracle of TNF blockers is this: they work. Nearly two of every three patients who try these medications get lasting relief from joint pain and inflammation. Known as biologic DMARDs, these high-tech drugs inhibit the action of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a protein that contributes to joint damage associated with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

Arthritis Without Pain examines the science behind the TNF blockers Enbrel®, Remicade® and Humira™, offers practical advice for their use, and explores the real-life experience of patients who take them. Written by noted Dallas rheumatologist Scott J. Zashin, M.D., in collaboration with healthcare writer Laurie Hesser, Arthritis Without Pain gives patients the knowledge to take charge of their arthritis, move past the pain, and get back to a more active life.

· Learn about TNF blockers and how they work

· Compare TNF blockers with methotrexate and other arthritis drugs

· Take a five-minute self-test to see if you are a candidate for anti-TNF therapy

· Understand the differences between Enbrel®, Remicade® and Humira™

· Know what to ask before therapy and what to expect during therapy

· Gain insight into how biologic drugs are manufactured and why they need special handling

· Learn how uninsured/underinsured patients may still have access to these medications

· Read about other patients' experiences with these life-changing drugs

With the latest information on types of arthritis, standard treatments, lab tests and clinical trials, Arthritis Without Pain is a comprehensive guide to TNF blockers and the state of arthritis treatment today.

A Must-Have for Anyone Who's Doctor Wants Them to Begin Therapy With TNF Inhibitors:

I am extremely happy that I found this book. I was looking for information on how these drugs, more correctly, biologics, are manufactured. I could not get a clear understanding of this from either the maker's literature, at least not literature that I could find, or literature on the drugs that I was given. I did find a complete description of the manufacturing process for each of the drugs in Dr. Zashin's book to the depth that I was interested.
Dr. Zashin also includes a great deal of... more info
