🌍 Did you know that approximately 1.5 million Americans are living with rheumatoid arthritis? This autoimmune disease affects not only the joints but can also impact overall health, leading to fatigue, inflammation, and even complications in other organs.
🔍 What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
RA is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues.
💡 Key Facts:
- Symptoms: Early signs can include joint pain and swelling, morning stiffness, and fatigue.
- Diagnosis: RA is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical exams, and lab tests.
- Treatment: While there’s no cure, effective treatments are available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.
