<description><![CDATA[Fibroids are benign tumors in the uterine wall.  Being obsessed with the diagnosis of fibroids especially if they have grown is making a mountain out of a mole hill.  For the record... fibroids practically never become malignant!  Twenty five to thirty percent of all women over thirty years of age have fibroids.  Fibroids can grow from age thirty to age forty but that does not mean they will become problematic; or that a hysterectomy should be performed.  Once a woman has completed menopause reduction in the level of estrogen will usually cause fibroids to shrink.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and how do we take care of ourselves after we are diagnosed with it? RA is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the joints, the membranes and synovial fluid that cushions them. The onset of Rheumatoid Arthritis is usually morning stiffness that lasts throughout the day. About seventy percent of people affected with RA have a specific genetic marker (HLA-D).
