Sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight loss or weight gain. It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function.
Because most inflammatory forms of arthritis are systemic (meaning they affect the entire body), other symptoms related to inflammation may occur in other parts of the body. Depending on the specific form of arthritis, these symptoms could include skin rashes, eye inflammation, hair loss, dry mouth and fever.
The specific cause of rheumatoid arthritis has yet to be identified despite decades of medical research. While we donât know specifically what causes rheumatoid arthritis, we do know that it is the result of an autoimmune disorder. An autoimmune disorder occurs when immune cells begin to attack the body. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, the body attacks its own healthy joint tissue called the synovium. The synovium is what produces a clear liquid substance known as synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates healthy joints and gives cartilage and bones the nourishment required to remain effective and mobile.
