Fast Facts

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis. It is caused when the immune system (the body’s defense system) is not working properly. RA causes pain and swelling in the wrist and small joints of the hand and feet. • Treatments for RA can stop joint pain and swelling. Treatment also prevents joint damage. Early treatment will give better long term results. • Regular low-impact exercises, such as walking, and exercises can increase muscle strength. This will improve your overall health and lower pressure on your joints. • Studies show that people who receive early treatment for RA feel better sooner and more often, and are more likely to lead an active life. They also are less likely to have the type of joint damage that leads to joint replacement. • It is important to get the help of a rheumatologist. A rheumatologist is a doctor who treats arthritis and autoimmune disease. There are diseases that can be mistaken for RA. It is im-portant to get the correct diagnosis without unnecessary testing. A rheumatologist will help find a treatment plan that is best for your disease.

People have long feared rheumatoid arthritis ( commonly called RA) as one of the

most disabling types of arthritis. The good news is that the outlook has improved for

many people with newly diagnosed (detected) RA. Of course R.A. remains a serious

disease, and one that can vary widely in symptoms (what you feel) and outcomes.

Even so, treatment advances have made it possible to stop or at least slow the

progression (worsening) of joint damage now have many new treatments that target

the inflammation that R.A. causes. They also understand better when and how to use

treatments to get the best effects.

Eagles in a Storm

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching

long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to

come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will

pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages

below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm

to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us, and all of us will

experience them, we can rise above them by setting our minds

and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome

us. We can allow God’s power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring

sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives.

We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is

how we handle them.

SENIOR PERSONAL ADS

Male, 1932, high mileage, good condition, some hair, many new parts including hip, knee, cornea, valves. Not in running condition but walks well.

Recent widow who has just buried fourth husband looking for someone to round out a six-unit plot. Dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath not a problem. Active grandmother with original teeth seeking a dedicated flosser to share rare steaks, corn on the cob, and caramel candy. Sexy, fashion-conscious, blue-haired beauty, 80’s, slim, 5’4 (used to be 5’6) searching for sharp-looking, sharp-dressing companion. Matching white shoes and belt a plus. I usually remember Monday through Thursday. If you can remember Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, let’s put our two heads together. I still like to rock, still like to cruise in my Camaro on Saturday nights, and still like to play the guitar. If you were a groovy chick, or are now a groovy hen, let’s get together and listen to my eight-track tapes.
