(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 06, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Rheumatoid Arthritis (or RA) affects many people around the world. Since it is a systemic disease, it causes inflammation that affects the joints. However, it unfortunately also affects other parts of the body.
The Arthritis Foundation has provided some information about how RA affects the rest of the body. According to health experts, patients who experience symptoms should see their doctor right away.
"It is imperative for patients to see their health care provider. Doctors can significantly help determine the causes of symptoms, as well as the proper adjustment to the treatment plan appropriate for the patients,"said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
According to The Arthritis Foundation, RA can cause lumps of tissue under the skin in bony areas, such as the elbows or fingers. DMARDs, or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, can help inhibit the disease process and make the lumps disappear. The eyes can also be affected by the condition, and the symptoms often include blurred vision, redness, pain and light sensitivity. The inflammation of the eyes associated with arthritis is known as scleritis.
There are other body parts that are affected by RA such as the mouth, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, blood, blood vessels and nervous system. The reason why individuals with rheumatoid arthritis tend to have gingivitis or gum disease is not yet known. Aside from excellent oral hygiene, topical pain relievers are recommended.
"Lung or pulmonary symptoms are also commonly experienced by rheumatoid arthritis patients. A condition called pleurisy is the inflammation of the lung lining; pleurisy makes it painful for patients to breathe. The good news is that it is treatable with anti-inflammatory drugs," added O'Sullivan.
Research shows that RA patients are around 2.5 percent more susceptible to cardiovascular disease. It is believed that the inflammation that spreads to the blood vessels is one of the possible causes of the condition. Pericarditis, which is the inflammation of the heart lining, is also believed to be caused by rheumatoid arthritis.
People use a wide variety of treatment options to reduce the pain they have from inflammation. Many of them use anti-inflammatory supplements such as curcumin, as they are believed to be very effective for providing pain relief.
For thousands of arthritis sufferers, curcumin supplements may be extremely effective. Many claimed that the natural alternative has helped them regain their mobility and achieve their desired level of pain relief. The most recommended curcumin supplements are those that contain BioPerine, a black pepper extract that potentially increases nutrient absorption in the body (http://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/product-reviews/B00JA4TLTI).
