If you are a patient of rheumatoid arthritis, you must surely be aware about how painful the joints are and how the tissue swells around them. Did you know that it also affects some of the other organs? Your skin, lungs and heart are all affected by this progressive disease. Women are more at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. Men usually don't fall in the high risk category. With the progress of the disease, the joints become deformed and cartilage deteriorates. The bones can begin to wear away.
You should start the treatment as soon as possible for this disease. It can slow down the disease and decrease the risk of having heart problems. It is possible for someone with rheumatoid arthritis to die young from heart problems.
