I don't think that the life expectancy of a person with RA is any shorter than anyone else. RA meds do cause complications, so RA patients do have t yo be more aware and vigilant. But if you take care of yourself, go to your doctor regular, and be aware of your body, always paying close attention for signs of infection or other side effects of the medications, you can life a long life.

The evolution of the disease can affect other organs such as the heart and lungs. This is why it is important to keep the treatment on the day and to have all possible care with the health. The treatment has advanced greatly, and until a few years ago we didn't have access to organic.

I think that's normal, so if the quality of life, if you stay very late in the disease, it is very bad.
