Has anyone ever heard of paladromic arthritis? I know a man who was just dx with it. The only thing I know is it comes and goes??? All rhuematoid arthritis is up and down. Let me know if anyone knows about this. Pat52
Hi,
I went to Google and discovered that it is called Palindromic Arthritis. There are a few sites with some information on this type of arthritis. It appears that it is a transient form of RA resulting in no joint damage. However, it seems that when a patient suffers with this for several years, it can develop into RA. Treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs doesn't really help since the onset of this disease is sporadic. If you go to Google, and type in Palindromic Arthritis, you should be able to find some answers.
I wish you luck and hope you get some help from this.
God Bless,

i was diagnoised with palandronic rheumatoid arthirtis 7years ago. the consultant said that it may never may never turn full blown. unfortunatly it did 4 yrs ago , and with a vengence ,when i was pallandromic i would only get a flare up in one joint and no were else even though this was still painfull and needed the drugs nothing could have prepared me for the pain that i now go though , i have also been diagnoised with inflamation of the heart and a anyarism in the abdomin that has been caused with the rheumatoid. i take mass amounts of steriods that i have been on now for 6 months, im on lefludimide,and remicade i would like to hear from anyone that has similar circumstances .
