Asking for help
Coping with the pain and unpredictability of Reiter's syndrome can be difficult at times.
It's important that you learn as much as you can about the disease and how to manage it. Sometimes talking to a family member or friend can provide much needed emotional support. Working with a counselor, psychologist, or social worker helps some people with Reiter's syndrome develop better coping skills.
Support groups have been a source of help for thousands of people with different forms of arthritis. Just knowing that you are not alone and that others understand what you're going through can make coping a little easier.
