You may qualify for local research studies
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an uncommon form of arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that occurs when your immune system attacks the lining of your joints. This causes joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and redness that can move to any joint, at any time. You may also have other symptoms like feeling tired or having a fever.
Better treatment options are needed for people who suffer with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Right now, local doctors are looking for people who have Rheumatoid Arthritis to participate in local research studies.
You may qualify for local research studies. But don’t delay — space is limited!
