Does rheumatoid arthritis prevent marriage and having children?

What we mean here is two points

Point number 1: concerning the ability to work, to have a job and to earn money, rheumatoid arthritis patients who see a rheumatologist and who have their disease diagnosed and assessed and have a medication prescription and who use their medicines as prescribed on a regular basis without being into the habit of skipping doses, will start to improve over weeks, and if everything goes smooth and as expected, they can live a near normal life starting from a few months from the start of treatment and thereafter.

Point number 2: concerning fertility, ability to conceive and to have children, rheumatoid arthritis does not affect fertility in men or women. There are some rheumatoid medications though that can interfere with pregnancy and those medications need to be stopped before pregnancy. We can start them again later on after delivery.
