No, psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are two different things with different symptoms. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, while psoriatic arthritis is a complication of psoriasis.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), also known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), is the most common form of arthritis in children and adolescents. (Juvenile in this context refers to an onset before age 16, idiopathic refers to a condition with no defined cause, and arthritis is the inflammation of the synovium of a joint.)JIA is a subset of arthritis seen in childhood, which may be transient and self-limited or chronic. It differs significantly from arthritis commonly seen in adults (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), and other types of arthritis that can present in childhood which are chronic conditions (e.g. psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis). It is an autoimmune disorder. The disease commonly occurs in children from the ages of 7 to 12, but it may occur in adolescents as old as 15 years of age, as well as in infants.JIA affects approximately 1 in 1,000 children in any given year, with about 1 in 10,000 having a more severe form.
Yes RA is definitely a crippling disease. In the not so distant past and still in many parts of the world where poverty stops sufferers from getting proper treatment RA puts many people in wheel chairs or disfigured their joint to a point where they are unable to function normally. Today with harm minimising treatments available victims are not guaranteed complete protection and joint replacements and operations are not unusual for RA sufferers.

This sounds alittle like it could be the result of a form of arthritis known as gout. Gout is caused by access uric acid in the blood turning into crystals that then invade the cartilage via synovial fluid in Particularly the peripheral joints of the body. If it is, a visit to the doctor would be in order as this illness can lead to seriously damaged joints exrutiating pain and kidney damage if left untreated.

Depends on which symptoms came first. If the JRA came befor the rash and fever then you'd have to talk to an arthritis specialist. If the rash and fever came before the JRA then it may be Lyme's Disease. Most people think that the rash has to be target shaped for lyme to be possible. In fact Lyme rash can com in the classic target, a ring, or just a consistent red rash. There can be a single lesion or multiple and up to 30% of people doen't even have a rash.

Chlamydia itself doesn't cause a rash. Rarely, a person may develop Reiter's syndrome (reactive arthritis) after chlamydia or other types of viral or bacterial infections. Reiter's syndrome may cause a rash on the hands or feet. Syphilis can cause a rash on your hands and feet in the second stage.
Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash.
