(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 07, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- There is a wide range of medical conditions that are continually making people from around the world suffer, and one is rheumatoid arthritis. Albeit there has not been any study that identified a cure for the condition, there is good news for those who are suffering from it.
Experts suggest that remission is possible among rheumatoid arthritis patients. There are around 1.5 million people in the United States who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, and remission can be achieved by almost half of the entire population who suffer from the condition.
"There are cutting-edge medications nowadays that are used to help patients achieve little to no disease activity. The earlier it is for sufferers to get treatment, the better their chances are," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Salahuddin Kazi, Dallas VA Medical Center's chief of rheumatology, stated that individuals are definitely experiencing remission when morning stiffness starts to last less than 15 minutes. Remission is also characterized by the absence of swollen joints within 3 months. Patients who achieve remission don't typically experience pain and physical limitations.
According to the University Hospital Maastricht's professor of rheumatology, Desiree van der Heijde, M.D., the latest rheumatoid arthritis treatments, and the aggressive use of older treatments, can help patients achieve remission.
Early treatment, especially when it is done before damage takes place, gives patients a higher chance of remission. Even those who suffer from relatively longstanding disease also have a high chance of achieving arthritis remission. The more aggressive and earlier the treatment is administered, the higher the chance is. This is according to Dr. Heije.
Patients who get treated within 2 years after the RA symptoms take place have about a 50 percent chance of achieving remission. Chances are even better among individuals who have mild disease activity as well as test negative for blood markers, specifically rheumatoid factor. Experts also added that those who get a treatment within five years will still have a good chance for remission.
It is imperative for patients to speak with their healthcare provider about the potential treatments that are suitable for their condition. There is a wide variety of treatments available nowadays, including natural alternatives.
One of the most popular natural alternatives nowadays is called glucosamine. This remedy comes in a supplement form and is believed to be helpful in reducing joint pain. There are also many arthritis sufferers who claimed that they have experienced improvements in their mobility while using glucosamine (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
