This was very informative, i'm in my mid 50's and have had RA for 42 years, 8 joint replacements due to the deformities. The knowledge and treatment has come such a long way from when i was first diagnosed which is fantastic to see. To all the RA specialists, researchers, medical students, GPs , Physios and anyone else involved in making the lives of people with RA easier, i say Thank you very much.
Nicy Nu, I cured my own RA. Its the food we ate that caused the RA. 1) Avoid carbs and sugar ( It glycate our membranes and cells, and traces of round up chemical end up in our cells, and our immune system attack those) 2) Avoid all vegetables oils (peanut, canola,corn, grapeseed,flaxseed), because our cells start to incorporate those inflammatory lipid into our cells, and our immune system see it as foreign pathogen. Only take avocado oil, olive oil , bacon grease or beef tallow, because they dont oxidized as much and not inflammatory. Hope this reach your and cured all your pain. No more RA pain for me since I adopted clean KETO and IF lifestyle.
Thanks for the great video. Keep up the good work! I hope you will do a video soon, explaining why being vegan is a moral imperative because it's great for human health, the environment, and of course, the animals, who are harmed so much in factory farming, terrified and alone at the end of their lives, which are cut short because of humanity's greed. Thank you for considering these points and to all of you who are reading this comment and already vegan.

Osmosis you have been a life saver. Just done my final year (BSc Diagnostic Radiography) pathophysiology work on RA. This really helped to keep me on track with what I was writing about. thank you!
Osmosis! You take what would have been hours and hours of looking at lecture notes to 12 minutes of 'I got it!' Many blessings to you for taking the stress out of studying. I can normally see your videos in exams.
As a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and as a patient educator (occupational therapist), I LOVE this video, this has the most visually appealing images and clear explanations I have seen! The only thing I would add is to the diagnosis section at 10:22 - it's not only blood work and X-rays, but according to my rheumatology team, the patient's medical history, subjective report and a physical exam are essential for diagnosing. Someone who has seronegative RA in particular may not have blood markers but may still have RA.
Can you suggest if i need to check if i have this auto immune disease? My mother and my brother have RA. I don't feel any joint of bone related problem, but my legs heart daily, but it is muscle pain. I also feel weakness and tiredness very much.
I have watched many osmosis videos, they usually explain basic concepts which I appreciate. BUT this one is just too perfect, and has everything reqd in my 4th year mbbs. thankyou so much. i have exam tomorrow.

After a life time of diagnosed with JuvenileArthritis, I got cured with the help of Dr Oyalo link here on RUclips and I’m completely free from it till now.
My grandma had this disease,she suffered from in for over fifty years,she left us in May ,which made it impossible for me to focus in class cuz I think about her suffering and suddenly these medical terms became too painful to even imagine ,,so I came to University of RUclips but it's the same ,i still miss her while watching the video and had to stop and comment this to see if this can get that thought out of my mind so i can emotionlessly focus on the content ,,😢I major in nursing now but i’ll never be able to take care of her anymore.

Ive diagnosed with RA 2 days back 😢 my joints pain are becoming worse im very scared confused dno wat happens next please pray for me my dear brothers and sisters 😖🥺😔🙏
This helped a lot. Recently went to the doctor for persistent pain in my left hip, and part of the medical imaging noted cyst like growths and slight erosion around the socket part of that joint. Blood testing asked for rheumatoid factor, and was curious as to what that is
Hello. I was diagnosed with RA when I was 44 years old. I am anti-CCP positive, my father had severe RA starting when he was 50 years old and my grandmother (father's mother) was bedridden for 13 years from RA. Just want to thank you for this video was done very well. My only advice on this video is to mention that some people with RA do not present as clearly as you describe. I had red, swollen and inflamed extremely painful joints, but they were NOT always on both sides at the same time, especially in the beginning symptoms, this led to a delay in my diagnosis as most doctors are taught that it resides on both sides. Many times, my flares would start in one joint for about 4 to 5 days, then a few days later show up in the other side's joint and be much less painful/swollen. Just wanted to add this for anyone who is having difficulty getting diagnosed. Thank you for your incredible video, so much appreciated!!!

Not a doctor/not studying to become one but thanks for making a video on it I now understand my illness better! Question is Rheumatoid Arthritis different from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis? Like are there any major key differences? Thanks.
Hi new follower here You guys make awesome vids. Wish I knew you guys back when I was a student. I really recommend you guys making a video of how antibiotics work, that really gave me bad headaches back in the day (and still) especially of how it affects some and not others
I feel for you. Have you ever tried intermittent fasting. Or fasting of any kind? Extended fasting? Juice fasting? And when eating, Eliminating ALL grains (not just gluten free) and other foods especially Processed foods, refined sugar. And Getting some good probiotics to heal the gut. These things can reduce pain and inflammation for some people. It is worth a try. I have RA. For many years. I've not completely got rid of it. But i do the above things that i mentioned and it does help reduce the inflammation and pain quite a bit. I am still working on healing completely. I'm sure there is more to it and I am sure for myself personally there's emotional and spiritual reasons as to why I do not always stick with the things I've mentioned. But I assure you everytime I've implemented fasting, my symptoms reduce significantly. Recently I had a big flare up. Really bad. In tears. Hard to walk. I didn't want to go on steroids which is the usual approach when in a bad flare. I feel the flare up was due to me basically not taking care of myself properly, eating unhealthily, too much sugar and under a lot of emotional stress. A lot. Maybe there's other reason too. But don't know. It was my first flare in a very long time. I immediately went to intermittent fasting and cleaning my diet up. Fresh Juicing every day. I did a 40 hour water fast too. And Taking time to meditate to lower stress. Within a week the swelling in my knees reduced a lot and the fiery pain all over my body calmed Down a lot too. And 2 weeks on still intermittent fasting, juicing, eating cleanly, only veggies and fruit, some fish, grass fed beef, good fats like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado. symptoms reduced even more so. It is worth a try. Please give it a try. I am still working on healing completely. I'm sure there is more to it for me to completely heal. But I know we can heal from it. There is an answer. I do not believe that there is "no cure" as the medical field says. I hope you find answers and get better. Be strong, don't give up.
Do not listen to these people. There is excellent results from therapy, including disease modifying agents such as methotrexate and monoclonal antibody therapy. If you haven't already a rheumatologist can help you get back to being as best as you can!
@@ianjones6095 are you saying do not listen to me. What people are you referring to? Drugs can be a life saver for some, I'm not disputing that. But for me and for some other RA sufferers, drug therapy doesn't seem to work enough. I have been on every drug out there for RA. Methotrexate, Imuran, Plaquinil, gold, remicade infusions, prednisone, on and on etc. And it has never stopped the disease or cured it or give me my life back. I have bad joint damage. I Have always had symptoms. I've had an aggressive kind of RA.
Thank you very much for this video ! My mom was suffering from osteoarthritis since a couple of years and she tried PEMF therapy which phenomenal in her case. I'm glad we found something and now we can help other people with it.
This was really great. Even as someone not studying medicine or human biology, I felt I got a good understanding of the disease and how the body responds.
Very clear and comprehensive description of RA. Also, I was shocked to discover that one of the medications (Rituximab) was developed by a company where I served as a cell biologist during its inception!
My mother has RA and my brother too do i need to check if i have this auto-immune disease? I dont have any joint related issues. Although leg muscles hurt almost daily.
Tried and tested best cures for RA: Please trust me and do this 1. Daily sun exposure for atleast 20 to 30 mins 2. Raw ginger grated and boiled in one glass of water - Drink this concoction before bed 3. Consume 4 to 5 pieces of Raw onion in every meal 4. Eat food between 10 AM and 7 PM. Preferably a light dinner for that includes cooked vegetables with less rice or one roti. 5. Practice yoga nidra 3 times a week with self help videos available in youtube If your RA is in starting stage the above will definitely help. Make it a lifestyle and your inflammation will be in control.
I read pathoma, could,t get it, i read robin not a way even to understand it ... And then I watched Osmosis and now i am playing with it.. Thank you Osmosis💖❤❤❤❤
I'm Jeff. I have rheumatoid and my pinky finger are turned out side ways. I'm a mechanic. Also have contractual diseases where ring and pinky fingers won't straighten even if I try. It hurts bad.. I took methotrexate but you can't be outside. Hydroxychloriquin works Alot better.
Usually the reason why T lymphocites become to be hyperactive on some place in body, is chronical inflamation itself. Typically after bacteriological or virological infection in that place, immune system start to be hypersensitive on some remnants of RNA of virus or bacteria which left on that damaged place and T lymphocites reacting on those zombie RNA even when infection itself is long dead by medication. That starting vicious cycle where own immune system through hyperactive T lyphocites attacking own body tissues, releasing cytokines causing more damage, which dragging to that place more T lymphocites causing more damage and all this result in condition when repair capacity of body is overcome and chronical inflamation developing.
Despite this amazing video quality and the fabulous illustrations, i really liked the way she said "Cartilage" so lovely🎉🎉 I will try to modify my accent
I am an NP and these lectures are great. Could one get these in paper form, like a study guide. Thx for posting these wonderful videos. I watch them all the time.
Try earthing, it's free and effortless and is good for almost all health problems including arthritis. Go DIY a grounding mat, pillow or sheet to use at home, no need to buy.
I am familiar w/earthing, but don't know how effective it is for RA. Consider 40mg collagen with 10mg undenatured type II collagen. It may be just enough to pull the immune system back from the joints, Green tea inhibits RANKL, which also plays a role in breakdown of bone. RA patients tend to be high in copper, low in zinc- there's a balance between them in the body. Hydroxychloroquine is a zinc ionophore- boosts zinc into the cells, which can improve RA and lupus. Zinc picolinate is a good form, while oxide is not. Zinc plays a role in stabilizing the endothelium (inner lining of arteries) as well as normalizing inflammatory cytokine signaling for TNF alpha. EGCG in green tea is a natural zinc ionophore, as is quercetin- they do what hydroxychloroquine does. Natural IL-6 inhibitors include curcumin from turmeric, boswellia serrata, and devil's claw. Devil's claw was found comparable to diclofenac for moderate to severe arthritis. Until there is a cure, this should help. I want to improve treatment protocols for many conditions. Ask your doctor before starting anything. Look up any of this at PubMed.
@@penguinshoes7928 hey how are you? saaz(methatroxate) gives me side effects and i am on biologics which is not that effective anymore what do you think about fish oil? or going on keto for ra or can you give me some more valuable info drs dont say all this i will start green tea soon
@@madhu5465 fish oil is anti-inflammatory. Boosting vitamin D level is also important. There is a 25 OHD blood test you can ask for. Your level should be at 60. Ability to absorb vitamin D declines with age and in those with darker skin. 40mg of undenatured type II collagen should also help. I haven't read about a keto diet and RA. I mentioned zinc picolinate because it is well-absorbed, but consider taking zinc gluconate, a source of special zinc cations, which block viruses at multiple steps, and do a lot more at a cellular level. If you do take curcumin, ideally theracurmin is best absorbed. Curcumin forte is also well-absorbed. At least get a BCM95, which has all the curcuminoids, and take with a pinch of black pepper to increase absorption. Natural products can take time to start working, and if you took 5000mg of vitamin D it might take a month to start to show an increase in levels. Good luck.
I had a severe typhoid fever last year and I am hlab 27+ I was unable to walk for 5 months straight still some of my joints inflamte unintentionally without any reason
Just watched this informative video and found out what I have now 😢🥺. My hands and foot are inflamed rn! Thank u for this video. For 11 years I’ve been in pain and my doctor would just give me Pain killers.
One of my best friends just got diagnosed with this, so I'm trying to learn more about it. It really sucks not being able to help. I was hoping to learn more about the process to see if at any point, mRNA vaccines could stop the process of inflammation and possibly promote remission. I have no idea how this would work though. I was thinkimg alomg the lines of making specific parts of the body create proteins that inhibit the immune response in some way.
Very awesome I have been diagnosed 20yrs more with rheumatoid arthritis rh positive gave me something to worry but now still manage pain with pain relief and diet control exercise will help still working as a nurse
Fruits and vegetables, wild rice Eggs and chicken. Avoid dairy and gluten ( no cookies, candy, cake, pizza, pasta. Anything made with flour is horrible for digestive system.
This was very informative, i'm in my mid 50's and have had RA for 42 years, 8 joint replacements due to the deformities. The knowledge and treatment has come such a long way from when i was first diagnosed which is fantastic to see.

Nicy Nu, I cured my own RA. Its the food we ate that caused the RA.
1) Avoid carbs and sugar ( It glycate our membranes and cells, and traces of round up chemical end up in our cells, and our immune system attack those)
2) Avoid all vegetables oils (peanut, canola,corn, grapeseed,flaxseed), because our cells start to incorporate those inflammatory lipid into our cells, and our immune system see it as foreign pathogen. Only take avocado oil, olive oil , bacon grease or beef tallow, because they dont oxidized as much and not inflammatory.
Hope this reach your and cured all your pain. No more RA pain for me since I adopted clean KETO and IF lifestyle.

I really recommend you guys making a video of how antibiotics work, that really gave me bad headaches back in the day (and still) especially of how it affects some and not others
After a weary search in RUclips abt RA patho physiology, found a perfect answer:)
your videos help A LOT, if the premium version was possible in my country i would be the firt to get it
I was diagnosed with RA in February and honestly it's horrible some days I'm fine while others I feel like I can't get out of bed.
I feel for you.
Have you ever tried intermittent fasting. Or fasting of any kind? Extended fasting? Juice fasting?
And when eating, Eliminating ALL grains (not just gluten free) and other foods especially Processed foods, refined sugar.
And Getting some good probiotics to heal the gut.
These things can reduce pain and inflammation for some people. It is worth a try.
I have RA. For many years. I've not completely got rid of it. But i do the above things that i mentioned and it does help reduce the inflammation and pain quite a bit. I am still working on healing completely. I'm sure there is more to it and
I am sure for myself personally there's emotional and spiritual reasons as to why I do not always stick with the things I've mentioned.
But I assure you everytime I've implemented fasting, my symptoms reduce significantly.
Recently I had a big flare up.
Really bad. In tears. Hard to walk.
I didn't want to go on steroids which is the usual approach when in a bad flare.
I feel the flare up was due to me basically not taking care of myself properly, eating unhealthily, too much sugar and under a lot of emotional stress. A lot. Maybe there's other reason too. But don't know. It was my first flare in a very long time.
I immediately went to intermittent fasting and cleaning my diet up. Fresh Juicing every day. I did a 40 hour water fast too.
And Taking time to meditate to lower stress.
Within a week the swelling in my knees reduced a lot and the fiery pain all over my body calmed Down a lot too. And 2 weeks on still intermittent fasting, juicing, eating cleanly, only veggies and fruit, some fish, grass fed beef, good fats like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado.
symptoms reduced even more so.
It is worth a try. Please give it a try.
I am still working on healing completely. I'm sure there is more to it for me to completely heal. But I know we can heal from it. There is an answer.
I do not believe that there is "no cure" as the medical field says.
I hope you find answers and get better.
Be strong, don't give up.
Do not listen to these people. There is excellent results from therapy, including disease modifying agents such as methotrexate and monoclonal antibody therapy. If you haven't already a rheumatologist can help you get back to being as best as you can!
I know what you are talking about. I felt the same. Until I found other way to treat it. back2lifeagain helped me a lot!
@@ianjones6095 are you saying do not listen to me. What people are you referring to?
Drugs can be a life saver for some, I'm not disputing that. But for me and for some other RA sufferers, drug therapy doesn't seem to work enough.
I have been on every drug out there for RA. Methotrexate, Imuran, Plaquinil, gold, remicade infusions, prednisone, on and on etc. And it has never stopped the disease or cured it or give me my life back. I have bad joint damage. I Have always had symptoms. I've had an aggressive kind of RA.
What was your RF facor if you don't mind me asking?
Osmosis is the ultimate weapon in medschool... Shout out to Omosis guys making these videos 🙌
Thank you! 🥰
A warm greeting from Italy! You're helping me a lot for my rheumatology test. Thank you very much:)
Ciao! Glad to be of help, always!

Thank youuuu for your videos!
THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO ON RUclips 😭😭♥️♥️
Ok 👌
Thank you very much for this video ! My mom was suffering from osteoarthritis since a couple of years and she tried PEMF therapy which phenomenal in her case. I'm glad we found something and now we can help other people with it.
What is that??? My mom's suffering too and theres no doctors here we have to take her to another state. We are planning to take her next month.
Thank you I have no medical knowledge but this was so clear it made sense to even me. 👍
This was really great. Even as someone not studying medicine or human biology, I felt I got a good understanding of the disease and how the body responds.
Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼
Beautifully explained in a short period of time.Thank you so much🙂.
Most welcome! 😊
This is a lot better explanation than my doctor telling me , "you got RA" .
What was you RF factor?mines was 14 reference range was 14
What a video...hats off to osmosis......🤗🤗👏👏 pathophysiology of RA is upto the mark .....👌👌
Voice stole my heart . How can I talk to you for hours ❤
Very clear and comprehensive description of RA. Also, I was shocked to discover that one of the medications (Rituximab) was developed by a company where I served as a cell biologist during its inception!
Thanks! 🥰
Osmosis you are making myed school easier
Lots of Love
Woohoo! Glad to be of help, Harish! 😊
My mother has RA and my brother too do i need to check if i have this auto-immune disease? I dont have any joint related issues. Although leg muscles hurt almost daily.
Tried and tested best cures for RA:
Please trust me and do this
1. Daily sun exposure for atleast 20 to 30 mins
2. Raw ginger grated and boiled in one glass of water - Drink this concoction before bed
3. Consume 4 to 5 pieces of Raw onion in every meal
4. Eat food between 10 AM and 7 PM. Preferably a light dinner for that includes cooked vegetables with less rice or one roti.
5. Practice yoga nidra 3 times a week with self help videos available in youtube
If your RA is in starting stage the above will definitely help. Make it a lifestyle and your inflammation will be in control.
I miss Osmosis. It helped me in my medical school.
Thanks for making us a part of your medical studies, Tinka! 😊
@@osmosis Thanks. I am now a medical Doctor and I can say you have been part of my journey. Greetings from Ugandan.

I'm Jeff. I have rheumatoid and my pinky finger are turned out side ways. I'm a mechanic. Also have contractual diseases where ring and pinky fingers won't straighten even if I try. It hurts bad.. I took methotrexate but you can't be outside. Hydroxychloriquin works Alot better.
I'm in love with her accent 🤩
two words: just perfect !!
what a animation , its make it best in terms of explaining rheumatoid arthritis ❤❤
Thank you! Glad you liked it! 😊
3:20 why T-cells and IL molecules come to joints, not other organs? there must be some signal recruits them into the joints, correct?
same question..Does antibody cross react in rheumatoid arthritis?
Usually the reason why T lymphocites become to be hyperactive on some place in body, is chronical inflamation itself. Typically after bacteriological or virological infection in that place, immune system start to be hypersensitive on some remnants of RNA of virus or bacteria which left on that damaged place and T lymphocites reacting on those zombie RNA even when infection itself is long dead by medication. That starting vicious cycle where own immune system through hyperactive T lyphocites attacking own body tissues, releasing cytokines causing more damage, which dragging to that place more T lymphocites causing more damage and all this result in condition when repair capacity of body is overcome and chronical inflamation developing.
Please continue making these amazing videos
Osmosis is really helpful for better learning.
Great video explaining what rheumatoid arthritis is! Thanks for making this.
Thanks for appreciating our content! Glad to be of help!

I really get more much information than I expected!..
Glad it was helpful, Asma! ❤️
I'm really thankful for this generously informative detailed video.

Thank you guys,great work !!
Can posttraumatic arthritis after an joint injury also spread to other joint that wasnt affected by a trauma?
this studying is awesome, i enjoyed it, rapid, and general, i appreciate the drawing explaining also, good luck Osmose !! best wishes
Why is it so difficut to find a cure? I'm on medication since I was 5 but with very few results, and the damage now is huge.
Try earthing, it's free and effortless and is good for almost all health problems including arthritis. Go DIY a grounding mat, pillow or sheet to use at home, no need to buy.
I am familiar w/earthing, but don't know how effective it is for RA. Consider 40mg collagen with 10mg undenatured type II collagen. It may be just enough to pull the immune system back from the joints, Green tea inhibits RANKL, which also plays a role in breakdown of bone. RA patients tend to be high in copper, low in zinc- there's a balance between them in the body. Hydroxychloroquine is a zinc ionophore- boosts zinc into the cells, which can improve RA and lupus. Zinc picolinate is a good form, while oxide is not. Zinc plays a role in stabilizing the endothelium (inner lining of arteries) as well as normalizing inflammatory cytokine signaling for TNF alpha. EGCG in green tea is a natural zinc ionophore, as is quercetin- they do what hydroxychloroquine does. Natural IL-6 inhibitors include curcumin from turmeric, boswellia serrata, and devil's claw. Devil's claw was found comparable to diclofenac for moderate to severe arthritis. Until there is a cure, this should help. I want to improve treatment protocols for many conditions. Ask your doctor before starting anything. Look up any of this at PubMed.
@@penguinshoes7928 hey how are you?
saaz(methatroxate) gives me side effects and i am on biologics which is not that effective anymore
what do you think about fish oil? or going on keto for ra
or can you give me some more valuable info drs dont say all this
i will start green tea soon
@@madhu5465 fish oil is anti-inflammatory. Boosting vitamin D level is also important. There is a 25 OHD blood test you can ask for. Your level should be at 60. Ability to absorb vitamin D declines with age and in those with darker skin. 40mg of undenatured type II collagen should also help.
I haven't read about a keto diet and RA.
I mentioned zinc picolinate because it is well-absorbed, but consider taking zinc gluconate, a source of special zinc cations, which block viruses at multiple steps, and do a lot more at a cellular level.
If you do take curcumin, ideally theracurmin is best absorbed. Curcumin forte is also well-absorbed. At least get a BCM95, which has all the curcuminoids, and take with a pinch of black pepper to increase absorption.
Natural products can take time to start working, and if you took 5000mg of vitamin D it might take a month to start to show an increase in levels.
Good luck.
@@penguinshoes7928 thanks

Inshort systemic inflammation spread through plasma and do inflammation of vessels decrease blood flow end organ damage
One of my best friends just got diagnosed with this, so I'm trying to learn more about it. It really sucks not being able to help. I was hoping to learn more about the process to see if at any point, mRNA vaccines could stop the process of inflammation and possibly promote remission. I have no idea how this would work though. I was thinkimg alomg the lines of making specific parts of the body create proteins that inhibit the immune response in some way.
Very awesome I have been diagnosed 20yrs more with rheumatoid arthritis rh positive gave me something to worry but now still manage pain with pain relief and diet control exercise will help still working as a nurse
I heard that there is no way to heel from it. Is that right?
Which food is better to eat that help to fight arthiritis
Fruits and vegetables, wild rice Eggs and chicken. Avoid dairy and gluten ( no cookies, candy, cake, pizza, pasta. Anything made with flour is horrible for digestive system.
