Has your doctor told you that you suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis? Or do you have any of the following symptoms that suggest that you may want to talk to your doctor about it? For your information I will share some quick information concerning Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic (long-term) disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling and limited motion and function of many joints. RA is an autoimmune disease which means that certain cells of the immune system do not work properly and start attacking healthy tissues. Some other signs/symptoms that can occur in RA include:
Loss of energy
Low fevers
Loss of appetite
Dry eyes and mouth
Firm lumps, called rheumatoid nodules, which grow beneath the skin in places such as the elbow and hands
Fast Facts:
RA is an autoimmune disease. A faulty immune system (the body’s defense system” triggers it.
RA is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis.
At least 1.3 million U.S. adults have RA.
Treatments have improved greatly and help many of those affected.
Studies show that people who receive early treatment for RA feel better sooner.
Seek an expert in arthritis to make an early diagnosis of RA (a rheumatologist)¹
