I Have had Rheumatoid arthritis all of my life and have had some trouble with it since I was about 8 now at 60 I am under the treatment of a specialist to keep it under control however during my life I have had periods of extreme pain and the times when I had no problems at all, so you can say that it comes and goes. The great thing is that these days things can be kept under much better control. It will never leave the system completely unless someone comes up with a cure. although in some cases, it can go into remission.
