Rheumatoid Arthritis Cure
Rheumatoid Arthritis Cure
Children age 16 or younger can develop juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This is the most common form of arthritis in children and affects girls more than boys. Arthritis means inflammation of a joint that can cause pain, swelling and stiffness to the affected area. Damage to the immune system causes inflammation that can damage one or more joints. A child with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis cure can help control pain, reduce swelling and maintain movement of the affect joint or joints.
Even though there is no cause for rheumatoid arthritis, it is an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune disorder means that the body’s immune system attacks it own tissues. Since this condition is chronic, a young child will have this disease a very long time.
Oligoarthritis is the first type of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and generally affects the knees, ankles and wrist joints causing pain, swelling and stiffness. It can also affect the eye causing inflammation. Children with this type of arthritis are affected more in girls than boys. However, children can outgrow it by adulthood but then it may spread to other joints in other children.
The second type, polyarthicular arthritis, can begin at any age but affects young girls more than boys. Polyarthricular arthritis can occur in five or more joints that include swelling, pain, and sometimes nodules may appear in the hands, hips, knees, feet, ankles and neck.
Systemic arthritis, called Still’s diseases, is the third type of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and affects about 20 percent of children who have arthritis. This arthritic disease begins with repeated high fevers accompanied with a pink rash that comes and goes. It causes inflammation of the internal organs and joints as well.
Pauciarticular disease is the fourth type of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and affects fewer joints. These joints include shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. This type of arthritis affects children 8 years and younger and about 50 percent will develop it. If children have this pauciarthicular disease after 8 years old, they will more than likely develop adult arthritis.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis cure is much the same for young children who have arthritis of any kind. Arthritis treatment include exercise, diet, medication, physical and occupational therapy. The goal of an arthritic child is to relieve pain and inflammation by using heat and cold applications, improve mobility, which means the ability to move, and encourage emotional development and social interaction at school and at home.

Sus, you ask about cures for rheumatiod arthritis, but I’m not sure your mother has that exact condition. Rheumatiod arthritis is diagnosed by the presence of the rheumatiod factor in blood tests. There are numerous other inflammatory arthritic conditions it could be, if not RA.
If you have access to high quality health care, then your mother needs a referral to a Rheumatologist who will do appropriate tests before recommending treatment. Treatment for different types of inflammatory arthritis vary in how aggressive they are, because some types cause more degeneration and permanant physical incapacity than others. Obviously, your doctor will recommend the mildest treatment consistent with your mother’s disease. Some can have nasty side-effects, but it’s worth it it you will be crippled in 2 years without treatment.
I’ve had non-specific inflammatory arthritis for 4 or 5 years now and I’m lucky that it’s not a really aggressive degenerative type (so far). My quality of life is improved a lot with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. They have some risks, however, but it’s worth it for me.
I’m right into alternative medicine, but nothing alternative I tried helped even a little with this problem. It’s a serious disease and needs a “big hammer” not softly, softly. YMMD (Your Mileage May Differ) of course, but it could take away all your mother’s enjoyment of life.
My personal belief is that it’s stress-related, but not short-term stress. More long-term stress that eventually makes your body’s immune system panic and go a bit crazy. It takes a long time to happen and probably just as long to fix (i.e. more time than anyone has)
