Does Rilassáre's alternative medicine replace traditional medicine?
No, alternative medicine serves as a complement to the treatments the patient may be undergoing and is not contraindicated in any case due to its safety and lack of adverse reactions or effects. Alternative medicine helps strengthen your immune system and regulate your body’s acidity for optimal functioning.
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just your joints. In some people, the condition can damage various body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your body’s tissues.
Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
The inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis is what can also damage other parts of the body. Although newer types of medications have greatly improved treatment options, severe rheumatoid arthritis can still cause physical disabilities.
Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis:
The signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may include the following:
- • Tender, warm, and swollen joints.
- • Joint stiffness that is usually worse in the mornings and after inactivity.
- • Fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite.
In its early stages, rheumatoid arthritis tends to affect smaller joints first — particularly the joints that connect your fingers to your hands and your toes to your feet.
As the disease progresses, symptoms often spread to the wrists, knees, ankles, elbows, hips, and shoulders. In most cases, symptoms occur in the same joints on both sides of the body.
About 40% of people who have rheumatoid arthritis also experience signs and symptoms that don’t involve the joints. Areas that may be affected include:
- • Skin
- • Eyes
- • Lungs
- • Heart
- • Kidneys
- • Salivary glands
- • Nerve tissue
- • Bone marrow
- • Blood vessels
Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can vary in severity and may even come and go. Periods of increased disease activity, called flares, alternate with periods of relative remission — when swelling and pain fade or disappear. Over time, rheumatoid arthritis can cause joints to deform and shift out of place.
