Rheumatic diseases are diverse but almost always painful and debilitating and affect an estimated 50 million people today in the U.S. alone. Often, women are more likely to be impacted by rheumatic diseases however; anyone can be affected by these conditions no matter what race, gender or even age. As research continues to try to find a cure for and the reasons behind these conditions, it is important that you seek the treatment you need to help you prevent further damage.
Of all the over 100 rheumatic diseases that impact people around the globe each day, perhaps the most well known and most common is rheumatoid arthritis or RA. Those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are faced with chronic pain, stiffness, and swelling and eventually for many, loss of function in the joints. Like other rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis is related to your immune system. RA sufferers are literally being attacked from the inside by their own immune system, causing damage to otherwise healthy tissue.
