The most debilitating form of arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Unlike other forms of arthritis Cheap Jonathan Huberdeau Hat , rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. It attacks joints and internal organs, causing severe inflammations and pain.
The most important thing in all RA treatments is detecting this disease as soon as possible. Unlike other forms of arthritis, RA does most of the damage during first twenty-four months. As there is no cure to this disease, the best thing we can hope for is to stop its progress as soon as possible or at least alleviate the pain and minimize the secondary damage.
Usually the "first line" drugs in the fight against RA are Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. Many of them can be bought without prescription Cheap Aaron Ekblad Hat , though the strongest ones must be prescribed by your doctor. Another important "first line" defense is a proper diet, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. They reduce the problems related to decreased joint mobility as well as reduce the inflammations. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish oil, but unless you switch to some fish-rich diet permanently, food supplements such as Omega Daily are much better solution.
Biologics are another branch of anti-RA drugs. They work by modifying the body's reactions in an attempt to stop the immune system from attacking the joints. They are quite effective Cheap Keith Yandle Hat , but their price is much above the level of an average citizen - especially that this treatment is covered only by the most expensive policies.
DMARD are another family of drugs used to treat RA. Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs have, unlike NSAIDs, little effect on the inflammations themselves. Their role however, is much more important: they minimize the damage done by the disease.
Besides medications Cheap Roberto Luongo Hat , there is also a few other things you may want to do in order to make your life with rheumatoid arthritis easier. First, you need to accept that RA won't go, so you can't simply "wait until it is gone." While some activities are beyond of your reach, it does not mean that you can only sit down and watch TV. Another important thing is that you need to do some sport. While you may feel it is safer to put no stress at all to your joints Cheap Jaromir Jagr Hat , this will only speed up the disease progress. Strong muscles reduce the impact of RA and increase the flexibility of your joints. However, you'd better choose such exercises that do not harm your joints - usually swimming is the best idea.
The exact reason for rheumatoid arthritis is, so far, unknown. It may be hereditary Cheap Evgenii Dadonov Hat , but some researchers still consider the possibility of RA being infectious, so no one can really feel safe. As RA does most of the damage very quickly, you need to consult your doctor as soon as you start to suspect that you may have joints inflammations or when you feel the morning stiffness. RA needs to be treated as soon as possible.
