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.
