Why untreated rheumatism arthritis can lead to death and what to do about it

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a serious illness This post is a reaction to the many times I have heard “At least it’s nothing serious.” Well, some things about Rheumatoid Arthritis are downright serious. So, I want to place a warning to my readers that today I am utterly serious. For once, I have found something that is not a joking matter at all. A few months ago, I read an old interview with Mrs. Daniels about her mother who had RA. The author said that she had “died of Rheumatoid Arthritis.” Mrs. Daniels mom is not the first, of course. My own grandfather’s life was cut short and RA apparently was part of that. To write faster, I will shorten Rheumatoid Arthritis to AR Let’s look at a few RA facts: http://bit.ly/RAsolutions You do not need to read the all links to understand my point, but even though it was tedious, I wanted to provide them for anyone who may need to begin a particular search. And they prove my point, too. Rheumatoid Arthritis can attack the spine. When the C-1 vertebra is affected, pressure on the spinal cord can lead to paralysis or death. Inside of the larynx are the Cricoarytenoid joints (the vocal cord joints) which bring the characteristic hoarseness of RA. Both the swelling and the nodules can interfere with ability to breathe. Sometimes, a tracheotomy is required. Here is a discussion of this. Rheumatoid Arthritis of the pericardium (heart lining) interferes with heart function. There are also nodules and inflammation of the muscle itself. RA can attack the lungs in a similar way to the heart, inflaming the lining, or causing nodules. The pleurisy and the scarring both can be life threatening. Rheumatoid Arthritis patients sometimes die from infections because the treatments suppress the immune system. Heart attack and heart disease risk is much higher. And much less recognized. RA causes inflammation and blockages of arteries. Rheumatoid Arthritis is associated with a shortened lifespan. Some reasons, like constant inflammation, are obvious. Others are not yet known. Studies show that the mortality gap is not improved by treatments. More widely known is the greater risk of cancer for RA patients. Some attribute this to the treatments used, but this is uncertain. There are dozens of other lesser known complications of Rheumatoid Arthritis which can contribute to early death including involvement of blood vessels, nerves, and other vital organs.

Some of these problems are rarer than others, especially with mild disease. Some of them are fairly low in incidence when measured separately. However, taken together, there is reason for concern. Risk increases with the severity of the disease; RA patients with a severe form of Rheumatoid Arthritis are more likely to see one of these in their future. http://bit.ly/RAsolutions Maybe we do not talk about this because we do not want to dwell on fearful things. Maybe it is because we are too busy with learning to walk on knee replacements or trying to get our insurance to pay for the shots. No one can assure you what will happen with RA since disease progression varies, possibly due to genetics. But the goal of treating RA is the same for everyone: to interfere with the disease process. Slow progression, delay disability, and extend life. You Can Get The Solution Here =) http://bit.ly/RAsolutions Share With Your Friends And Family

Jesus Soap on sale to wash away sins (photo)

Wetin person no go see for this our ogbonge life? A wonder-soap called 'Jesus soap' is currently making waves online. According to the description of the soap, it is a novelty soap which can be used when one feels the need for confession, the need to get the burden of sins off one's chest. The soap is also meant for lost souls and you only need to use it once in a day (especially at night) just to wash away the day's sins. The Jesus Novelty Soap The soap which is listed amongst other products on Amazon has currently sold out, as many who want to 'wash away their sins' didn't let it stay too long on the counter. From the reviews, people even bought in bulk, hence, the unavailability of product. One of the buyers reviewed it by saying: "So much fun when you see the face of the person you gave it to. I bought several to give to my dirtiest friends." Another one said: "This is a very cute gift or stocking stuffer for good friends or family that can handle the presumption of a subtle jab at the lives we lead. We all need a good soul cleansing once in awhile." And yet another: "This is a cute gift. I know the receiver will like it. Too bad we really can't wash our sins away with this soap, but the Person on the soap can do it for us!" LOL, was this what John had in mind when he talked about Jesus washing away our sins? Would you buy the Jesus Novelty Soap?
