RA is an autoimmune condition occurring when your body’s immune system attacks otherwise healthy cells–in this case, the soft tissue in your joints. Researchers currently aren’t clear on what causes this to happen, however. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS RA’s symptoms tend to go through cycles of flares and remissions. This means you’ll have periods where symptoms are more intense and periods where they are less troublesome. These symptoms include: • Pain and swelling in joints on both sides of your body • A gradual onset of joint pain, starting with the small joints in your fingers • Stiffness and restricted range of motion in the affected joints, particularly first thing in the morning • Redness, warmth, and tenderness in the affected joints • Fatigue, low-grade fever, and a general sense of feeling unwell RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: A QUICK DIVE
