Andrew lived on a beautiful central California coast. He enjoyed reading, fishing, gardening, and listening to worship music.
In October 2004, he noticed he had symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, which included; fatigue (during the day), unintended weight loss, weakness, fever but was formally diagnosed in January 2009.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation. with RA, your immune system attacks your body's tissues and causes painful swelling of the joints. It also affects the skin, blood vessels, eyes, liver, kidney, gums and lungs. Without treatment, RA can cause severely deformed joints.
"One of the most frustrating things about RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) is how precisely individual the disease is. Where a prescription medication could put one patient's RA into remission, it might make another's condition worse". Said Andrew.
Andrew never loses hope and covers each new treatment.
He would be offered to take a combination of DMARD (Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatoid Drugs) tablets as part of his initial treatment. These medications are particularly effective in easing symptoms of the condition and slowing down its progression. Some examples of DMARDs include; hydroxychoroquine, Sulfasalazine and Leflunomide.
DMARDs work by blocking the effects of the chemicals released when the immune system attacks the joints, which could otherwise cause further damage to nearby bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage.
So what's the cause of RA?
This causes the thin layer of cells (synovium) covering your joints to become sore and inflamed, releasing chemicals that damage nearby bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments.
If this condition isn't treated, these chemicals gradually cause the joints to lose its shape and alignment. Eventually it can destroy the joint completely.
There are a number of things that may increase your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. Some of which include; your genes, hormones and smoking.
Andrew is determined to live life as fully as possibly with the disease while keeping his condition under control.
He would:
- Take his medications- Its important to take the medications as prescribed, even if he start to feel better, medications can prevent flare-ups and reduce the risk of further problems suck as joint damage.
- Have regular doctor visits- As rheumatoid arthritis is a long-term condition, he would be in contact with his health care team regularly so they can check to ensure his condition is under control and his treatment is right.
- Keep well- He would be advised to have a pneumococcal vaccination, a one-off injection that protects against a specific serious chest infection called pneumococcal pneumonia. Get plenty of rest during a flare-up. Putting further strain on very swollen and painful joints can often make the pain and inflammation worse.
- Eat healthy and exercise daily- Regular exercise and a healthy diet are recommended for everyone, not just people with rheumatoid arthritis. They can help prevent many conditions, including; heart disease and many forms of cancer. Exercising regularly can help relieve stress, help keep your joints mobile and strengthen the muscles supporting your joints. Exercise can help you lose weight if you're overweight, which can put extra strain on your joints.
If you care for any one who has RA, inform them of what would happen and things they can do to help keep it under control and also encourage them to see a doctor as soon as possible for the right treatment.
I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine healing.
