A member asked:
Currently in my 20s have rheumatoid arthritis already, is that really rare for my age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it's not: Rheumatoid arthritis has a fairly high incidence in young women and it's not uncommon to have improvement with pregnancy and flare afterwards Lupus also has a high incidence in young women. But both are eminently treated by a Rheumatologist.
