Arthritis

Good Morning Fellow Farminsteadical Followers! Our Article today will discuss Arthritis! My mom has worked in a nursing home/ rehabilitation center for 23 years! When I was a little girl I loved going in to work with her. The dietary Staff always gave me ice cream, the therapy staff always let me pet the therapy dog, and the recreation staff always had puzzles for me to build with the patients! I will also add, the patients LOVED the extra company. Being on the floor with the CNA’s and RN’s I heard a lot of medical terminology at a young age. Now just because I heard the term arthritis at 4 does not mean I understood it because I have since learned that your name does not have to be Arthur for you to get Arthritis and the character on PBS kids named Arthur does not have Arthritis. Very deceiving to a little girl.

So as I aged and started to hear these crazy theories like someone named Wanda or Michael could have Arthritis, I had to go undercover and get to the bottom of the mystery. Well I am sure you know that I found out the rumors were true. The name Arthur has nothing to do with Arthritis. I also found out what Arthritis was and common treatments. I learned that there are over 100 different types of Arthritis and that Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in America. 50 Million Adults and 300,000 kids are suffering from it.  Did you know that there are some types of arthritis that can affect the eyes, heart, kidneys, lungs and skin? Usually treatment includes Analgesics, NSAIDS, DMARDS, and corticosteroids. Which can all be dangerous and have lasting side effects especially if taken long term for a chronic condition that gets worse with age like arthritis.

Alternative Remedies for Arthritis include Topical Aloe Vera because of its Anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin A, B, C, and E act as anti-inflammatories and the gel helps to neutralize the toxins that inflammation produces. Boswellia or Frankinsense is another herbal remedy that has wonderful anti-inflammatory capabilities. Boswellia can be found and taken in tablet form or as a topical cream! Anti- inflammatories are so important in the treatment of Arthritis because a lot of the pain comes from the swelling of the joint. So if you can get the swelling of the joint down then you can reduce the amount of pain you or your loved one is in.
