    1. Hi painohhpain. So sorry to hear you are having these headache issues. Have you had a chance to speak with your doctor about this? As headaches are often a function of inflammation, they can be a symptom of RA. In addition, they can be a side effect of many medications. This article from our contributor Andrew goes into further detail: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/ra-can-be-a-real-headache-literally/. Hoping you get some relief soon. Best, Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)
