Obesity Epidemic Fueling Rise in Rheumatoid Arthritis Among Women
Obesity and the painful autoimmune disorder rheumatoid arthritis are each becoming more common, raising a logical question: Could one have something to do with the other?

It was the first historically recognized clinical symptom of the disease. In 1740, I think. It was also known that patients did not produce lifelong immunity- it was a relapsing condition.
