  Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease in which your body’s immune system attacks the joints. The joints can become swollen, painful, and stiff. RA can affect any joint, but it most often affects your wrists and fingers. The same joints are usually affected on both sides of the body. Doctors don’t know what causes RA. In people who have severe RA, it never goes away. In these cases, it could cause serious joint damage.

  Much is demanded of a woman today as we learn to juggle both career and family demands. I see this in my own life and hear it from my patients. I believe it is important to achieve balance and not overlook your health. As an Internist, I am committed to the health of all my patients, male and female, but I am a special advocate for women’s health. There are many women today who still believe that heart disease does not affect them or colon cancer is a “male” disease. I believe in educating you and helping you take care of yourself. – Aparna Hernandez, M.D.
