Abstract

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder characterized by chronic inflammation in one or more joints that usually results in pain and is often disabling. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, debilitating, chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of synovial joints, which can lead to chronic pain and structural joint damage, as well as other organ involvement, especially if not adequately controlled. The etiology of RA is still unknown. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have special family planning considerations that require a frank discussion and careful coordination with health care providers. More than 2/3rdof patients experience improvement or even remission of arthritis during gestation. The improvement in RA symptoms can be seen both with changing the eating pattern as well as with inclusion and exclusion of certain food items in the diet.
