RAIV or Rheumatoid Arthritis InVentors is an interactive snailmail support group of RA sufferers.

RAIV was launched in the Roderick Jamer article Mother of Invention in the Arthritis News of June 1995 (a magazine of the Arthritis Society.) and can be read at this link.

I started RAIV to share my ideas by mail on how I make living easier with severe RA.

RAIV has evolved into a small group of people who share their coping mechanisms through a quarterly newsletter not available on the web.

RAIV is non-profit and has no funding. -- Jan Watkins
