What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints, but can also seriously compromise other organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. It is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues – especially the synovium, the membrane that lines the joints – causing chronic inflammation, pain, swelling, stiffness and eventually irreversible damage to the joints.
In the last 20 to 30 years, the number of people with this diagnosis has exploded by several hundred percent. This dramatic increase is associated with:
- poor eating habits,
- chronic stress,
- excessive use of chemical drugs,
- sedentary lifestyle
- and neglecting healthy, natural treatments.
📌 What are the first symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?
Early recognition of symptoms is crucial for timely and successful treatment. Here are the most common signs that rheumatoid arthritis is developing in the body:
1. Symmetrical joint pain
One of the main signs of RA is pain that occurs on both sides of the body in the same joints, such as both wrists, both knees, both ankles.
2. Joint stiffness – especially in the morning
Stiffness that lasts more than one hour after waking up is typical of RA. Unlike osteoarthritis, where stiffness lasts for a shorter time, RA can stretch for several hours.
3. Swelling, redness and tenderness
The inflammation causes swelling of the joints, painful tenderness and visible redness, especially in the area of the hands and fingers. Later, joint deformities can also develop.
4. Chronic fatigue and weakness
RA is not just a disease of the joints. As it is a systemic inflammatory disease, many sufferers experience constant fatigue, loss of energy and reduced physical endurance.
5. Rheumatoid nodules
These are stubborn lumps that develop under the skin, most often in the elbow or finger area. They are a sign of long-term, uncontrolled inflammation.
6. Loss of function and mobility
Without treatment, the joints become less mobile , painful and deformed. In advanced stages, the disease leads to complete disability and the need for surgery or joint replacement.
🔍 What are the causes of rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a combination of genetic, environmental and hormonal factors. Here’s what science knows today:
🔬 1. Autoimmune disorder
The immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, specifically the synovial membrane of the joint, which causes constant inflammation and tissue damage.
🧬 2. Genetic predisposition
Certain gene mutations, especially those related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA), significantly increase the risk of disease.
🌍 3. Environmental factors
- Long-term smoking
- Exposure to air pollution
- Contact with toxic chemicals
- Viral and bacterial infections
All of the above can trigger an immune attack on one’s own joints with a “trigger”.
👩⚕️ 4. Hormonal changes
Women are more susceptible to RA, especially during pregnancy, menopause and hormonal imbalances. Hormones strongly affect the immune response, and their imbalance can trigger disease.
⚠️ Consequences of untreated rheumatoid arthritis
If the disease is not treated in time and correctly, the consequences can be extremely serious:
- Deformities of hands, fingers and feet
- Loss of mobility and independence
- Damage to the heart, lungs, blood vessels and eyes
- Chronic pain syndrome
- Severe drug addiction
- Disability
And while modern medicine often relies on chemical drugs, corticosteroids, injections, and surgery, these approaches do not address the cause of the disease, but only mask the symptoms.
