Will i inherit my fathers rheumatoid arthritis?

Question

My grandmother had it too.

Answer 1

Rheumatoid arthritis, unlike other arthritis, is an autoimmune illness. It is possible since it runs in your family that you may have the gene for this. It does NOT mean that you will develop this yourself, however, because you may have the gene certain circumstances could trigger the gene. There is no clear rule on what the triggers are but interestingly enough stress always seems to play a hand in it. By the way, an autoimmune illness is when the body's immune system gets confused and attacks itself. I would suggest that you do further reading on this to ease your mind. Knowledge is always best.

Answer 2

There is a way where you can help sort out artritis. I ship it from india and it has worked a treat for my grandma. I am still young, in my thirties and I use it and it has helped. It lubricates the bones, feeds it the nutrition it needs.

I can find out more information for you but don't know which country you are out. You don't need to go through it. Technology has moved on now with great speed and organic medicine which works and major secientists and doctors have approved it, and its there but it's hard to come by in UK. I have to ship it from another country.

So no. You don't need to suffer with it.

Answer 3

Perhaps.
You may ask him to leave it to you in his will.

Answer 4

No.
