Palindromic rheumatoid arthritis

( 1998 )
-I’ve been receiving therapy for palindromic rheumatoid arthritis. I’d like to know exactly how it differs from rheumatoid arthritis. I’m confused about the difference.-
Palindromic rheumatoid arthritis is a form of the disease that tends to have active periods alternating with remissions. The adjective “palindromic” is derived from a Greek word that means “a running back.” In the English language, a palindrome is a word that reads the same from either end, such as madam or wow. Hence the adjective palindromic means to come and go.
