Autoimmune Reaction where antibodies develop against components
of joint tissue, and mistakenly and aggressively attack the
joints, destroying cartilage, synovial fluid, bone and joint
tissues. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition
that affects your entire body. It usually involves several
joints in the onset, typically in a symmetrical fashion (i.e.
both hands, both wrists, both hips), causing inflammation,
stiffness and immobility.
