Rheumatoid arthritis is a medical condition in which your body’s immune system targets your joint linings. It affects joints on both sides of the body, like both hands, both wrists, and both knees. Rheumatoid arthritis can put dangerous impacts on the skin, eyes, lungs, nerves, heart, or blood. Rheumatoid arthritis can vary from person to person but it generally starts quite slowly. A few joints – mostly fingers, wrists or the balls of feet become uncomfortable and occasionally may swell. One may also feel stiff when he/she wakes up in the morning. The painful inflammation resulted from this condition generally results in an overwhelming loss of control and even in some cases depression as well.
