It can definitely cripple you if you don't treat the inflammation that causes the damage done by this disease Until we came up with anti inflammatory and now disease modifying drugs that diminish the ability of the immune system to cause the problem inflammation. People with RA take the risk of serious multiple joint destruction as well as other tissue and organ problem if they don't treat the disease. before these drugs became available many people ended up in wheel chairs or bed ridden as a result. today many joints can be replaced in case there is to much destruction or pain.
