Early Signs Of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Fever

A low fever is a common symptom of rheumatoid arthritis that typically presents alongside joint stiffness and aching. A fever is defined by the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention as any temperature greater than one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, though fevers aren't considered serious until they reach about 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Some individuals experience low fevers often alongside their other symptoms, while others may not realize their feverish feelings are related to rheumatoid arthritis. When fevers are related to autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, treating the autoimmune disease will typically help reduce the fever. Fevers often occur as a result of infection, or they may occur because of the immune system's overreaction.
