    It is not uncommon for palindromic rheumatism/arthritis to be a forerunner of rheumatoid arthritis - doesn't always happen but does quite often.

      Not personally but an internet friend who writes an RA blog (Rheumablog) had palindromic rheumatism about 15 years before her RA diagnosis. It seemed to be in remission until it returned as RA in all its glory and then never left.
