(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 21, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease that causes inflammation and affects the joints. While the joint is the most common target of the condition, it has the potential to do bodily damage that is more than what many people expect.
Rheumatoid arthritis is believed to be detrimental to various body parts of sufferers. According to the Arthritis Foundation, individuals with RA who suffer from symptoms should consult their healthcare provider right away. Their doctors will take care of identifying the causes of symptoms, and adjusting the appropriate medication plan.
"Many people who have rheumatoid arthritis are living a low quality of life due to joint pain alone," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, lumps of tissue can appear under the skin of bony areas, such as in the fingers or elbows, due to rheumatoid arthritis. The good news is that there are disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (or DMARDs) that help inhibit the disease process and make the symptoms disappear. RA also affects eye health, and it can produce symptoms such as pain, blurred vision, redness and light sensitivity. When the eye inflammation is associated with arthritis, it is called scleritis.
Experts suggest that rheumatoid arthritis can potentially affect other body parts such as the heart, lungs, mouth, blood, kidneys, nervous system and blood vessels. Individuals who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis tend to develop gum disease or gingivitis, but the cause has not been known yet. Sufferers may practice excellent oral hygiene to combat it, but they can also use topical pain relievers.
Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers often experience lung or pulmonary symptoms. Pleurisy, which pertains to the inflammation of the lung lining, makes it painful for them to breathe. Sufferers can take advantage of anti-inflammatory drugs to fight the ailment.
Researchers reveal that individuals with rheumatoid arthritis are 2.5 percent more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease. When inflammation spreads to the blood vessels, it can potentially lead to the condition. The inflammation of the heart lining, called pericarditis, is also associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Nowadays, people use a variety of natural alternatives to increase their protection against medical conditions. Glucosamine supplements are one of the most popular remedies used by arthritis sufferers. The natural remedy is believed to be effective for providing pain relief and for repairing damaged joint cartilage. It has been widely studied by scientists due to the therapeutic benefits associated with its use.
Experts recommend the use of glucosamine supplements that contain other ingredients such as MSM, chondroitin and turmeric (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
