No, Arthritis can make your life miserable and you have less opportunites to do in life. So eat a lot of Vitamin C or anything orange. Don't gain too much weight or that can be harder for the joints to work. Exercise, but don't lift too much weight or that can crack your joints. Hope this answers your question.
Arthritis itself is a condition that has the common symptoms of joint inflamation, pain, and fatigue. Whilst the condition itself is unlikely to cause death, the medication used to treat it, namely, imunossupressants, may cause death.
This happens because, by suppressing, imunologic response, the person is more vulnerable to certain opportunistic diseases.
The medication can cause leukemia and even sudden death. However, the numbers for these are very low.
No JRA or RA for that mater are not diseases that will kill you. However they can as a result of the drugs used to treat you or infections caused by the damage related with the disease lead to a shortening of life and in some instances death.
Psoriatic arthritis is a painful, inflammatory condition of the joints that can occur occur in association with psoriasis of the skin. Up to 40% of those that have skin psoriasis also have signs of psoriatic arthritis.
Symptoms of this disease come and go, however it is a lifelong condition that may result in severe damage to the joints. Joint deformity as well as changes in X-rays are be found in about 40% of people that have psoriatic arthritis.
People with severe psoriatic arthritis have been reported to have a shorter lifespan than average. and this correlates with the severity of the joint disease.
Arthritis as such will not kill you. However arthritis can lead to other health outcomes that will. that is why it is best to monitor the progress of the disease and the effects of the medicines used to treat it is time progresses.
Arthritis as such is unlikely too kill you, however infections and conditions brought about as a result of arthritis treatment drugs have been known too.
No, but you cannot get around as well if it gets too bad. you may even have to get an arm or a leg removed if it gets too bad. Good luck to the one who has arthritis!

"Juvenile arthritis" covers a number of different types of arthritis in children.

A child can be struck by this disease at any age from babies onwards. It may present with only mild symptoms or it may start with a severe full blown attack.
