hello,
you need to understand that RA is not curable, it is only treatable and the treatments available are very effective.
however in late cases when the disease is advanced and damage to joints has already occured the treatment becomes difficult.
involvement of glands is a sign that the disease is advanced however treatment should help her condition.
