The context provided doesn't specifically mention the direct impact of thyroid issues on the pain intensity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flares. However, it does note that hypothyroidism and RA are both autoimmune disorders and that medications used to treat hypothyroidism do not interfere with RA medications. This suggests that managing one condition should not negatively impact the other directly through medication conflict. It's important for individuals with both conditions to work closely with their healthcare providers to manage both conditions effectively.

I am on med for under active thyroid. I have not noticed a correlation between thyroid problems and RA flares.. Medrol packs help relive the pain of flares for me.
