What is rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can impact various body systems, including the joints, skin, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels. Classified as an autoimmune disorder, it occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. When it affects the joints, it leads to painful swelling, bone erosion, and deformity in the joint lining.

 

What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?

Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may include:

• Tender, warm, swollen joints
• Joint stiffness that worsens after inactivity or sleep
• Discomfort lasting at least 6 weeks
• Fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite

 

How can I treat rheumatoid arthritis?
