Well fuck.
I don't think Rheumatism kills people, so better than cancer.
(Hearing about how Rheumatism kills people below...)
It certainly can. It won't be the official cause of death, but like cancer, it will ravage your body. If you can't keep the immune system in check, shit gets wild.

Thanks for this comment!
