Features of Rheumatoid Arthritis How Rheumatoid Arthritis Develops and Progresses Occurrence and Impact of Rheumatoid Arthritis Searching for the Cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis ... About NIAMS and NAMSIC Features of Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. It has several special features that make it different from other kinds of arthritis (see information box below). For example, rheumatoid arthritis generally occurs in a symmetrical pattern. This means that if one knee or hand is involved, the other one is also. The disease often affects the wrist joints and the finger joints closest to the hand. It can also affect other parts of the body besides the joints (see illustrations below). In addition, people with the disease may have fatigue, occasional fever, and a general sense of not feeling well (malaise).

It is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks normal tissue components as if they were invading pathogens. This illness affects about one percent of the world's population. The inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis primarily attacks the linings of the joints. However, the membranes lining the blood vessels, heart , and lungs may also become inflamed. The hands and feet are most often affected, but any joint lined by a membrane may be involved. The inflammation can be controlled by medication. If the inflammation is not controlled the joints may become deformed. Rheumatoid arthritis usually manifests itself over a period of a few months. However for some, the disease may appear over night. Rapid onset does not mean the individual is at greater risk of disease progression.

INTERNATIONAL HEALTH NEWS DATABASE Fish Oils and Rheumatoid Arthritis Summaries of the latest research concerning fish oils and rheumatoid arthritis Fish oils help reduce arthritis symptoms EPSOM, UNITED KINGDOM. Dr. Gail Darlington of the Epsom General Hospital and Dr. Trevor Stone of the University of Glasgow have just released a major paper reviewing the current state of the art in regards to diet and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). About 2% of the world's population suffers from RA and the disease is three times more prevalent among women than among men. RA can strike at any age and involves an inflammation of joint tissues associated with the release of toxic substances in the synovium that leads to cartilage destruction. The main symptoms are swelling of the affected joints, morning stiffness, fatigue and general malaise. There is considerable evidence now that RA is caused by oxidative stress and involves an excessive production of pro-inflammatory compounds like tumor necrosis factor- alpha and interleukin-1 beta Research has shown that supplementation with fish oils (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) can markedly reduce interleukin-1 beta production and results in a significant reduction in morning stiffness and the number of painful joints in RA patients. Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in cooking oils and margarine), on the other hand, have been found to exacerbate RA symptoms. Fish oils have also been found useful in the management of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Arthritis and Rheumatism Alternatives Cure the patient, and loose the revenue stream. Treat the symptoms, and the patient will pay you for the rest of his life. Is that what you are finding? Is your doctor talking about pain management as arthritis treatment, and nothing else? Then it is time you looked further! It is YOUR responsibility to make sure you are dealing with a doctor who looks for causes , not merely relieves the pain symptoms. There are many good doctors out there, you just have to keep looking till you find one. And when you do, pass the word around! "Rheumatoid Arthritis" is not one single disease, but a catch-all diagnosis for many different causes, over 190 known different diseases, and probably more. Many are curable! But will Your doctor try to find out which of those 190 diseases you really have? Or take the easy and profitable way out by simply prescribing pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs for the rest of your life? I hope you check every one of these options. You never know which one will lead You to YOUR cure. When the doctors say it can't be cured, it means the multi-billion dollar pharmo-medical industry does not see enough profit in investing in a Permanent Cure But you do! When they used heavy legal mu$cle to force the former tenant of this web nook out over a dubious name similarity, a tenant who spoke of CURES, not profitable pain relief; we used our constitutional right to Freedom of Speech and put up these pointers to good information to help You.

Resources and Suggestions If your question is not answered here, please contact one of our information specialists. What Is It? Rheumatoid arthritis (rue-ma-TOYD arth-write-tis) involves inflammation in the lining of the joints and/or other internal organs. RA typically affects many different joints. It can be chronic, which means it lasts a long time, and can be a disease of flares (active) and remissions (little to no activity). RA is a systemic disease that affects the entire body and is one of the most common forms of arthritis. It is characterized by the inflammation of the membrane lining the joint, which causes pain, stiffness, warmth, redness and swelling. The inflamed joint lining, the synovium, can invade and damage bone and cartilage. Inflammatory cells release enzymes that may digest bone and cartilage. The involved joint can lose its shape and alignment, resulting in pain and loss of movement. What Are the Symptoms?

Tell me when this page is updated MY VICTORY OVER RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS By Loretta Godbout I am writing this to share with you my recovery from rheumatoid arthritis by following a single Edgar Cayce reading (951-1) which was published in There is a River In 1959, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I was crippled for the ensuing 8 years. The disease was so severe that my knees were greatly swollen and I was in constant pain. Suggested medical treatments consisted of scraping the bones, using long needles to draw off fluid from the joints, and joint replacement surgery, all of which did not hold promise of a permanent solution. In my mind, I kept thinking that there had to be help, that the body could be healed and, after eight years, I found myself in a Woolworth's Dime Store in Long Beach, California. I saw a book on a revolving stand entitled, There is a River . I picked it up and then put it back saying to myself, "Loretta, you have books upon books, and you haven't read those you have, you don't need another one." Two weeks later, with the title ringing constantly in my mind, I returned to Woolworth's and bought the book. Once I began reading it, I couldn't put it down and I stayed up all night, eventually finding the case histories published in the back of the book. There was one case of arthritis for a young girl of 18. I read that reading and immediately began making two lists, one for things to do and one for things to buy. I had difficulty finding everything I needed, especially
