What Arthritis Research Can Tell us About Rheumatoid Arthritis Prognosis?

by Jonathan_Mitchell

There has been done a lot of arthritis research the last decade
and because of it we now know that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a
disease we can place under the auto-immune diseases. But is
enough arthritis research done to find a cure for this disease
that makes millions of people suffer?. In this article we look at
what the scientist have found, what the prognosis is for RA and
if there is a proper cure in sight.

What is rheumatoid arthritis according to the scientist?

RA can be very painful and it can be disabling but what is
causing it? According to arthritis research it is an auto immune
disease this means that the immune system attacks healthy tissue,
in this case it attacks the joints and causes inflammations in
the joints and a disease of the joints cartilage.

Arthritis research shows that, just like with other auto immune
diseases, it occurs slightly more with women than with men and
that the disease often becomes chronic. Specific arthritis
research shows that it is hard to determine a specific course of
RA in general RA affects the joints and the cartilage and because
of this the joints can become deformed when the disease
progresses. The treatment until this moment has been about
slowing the process down and controlling the symptoms.

What can you expect when you get diagnosed with Rheumatoid
Arthritis.

As with most auto immune diseases the arthritis research shows
that it is hard to line out a proper prognosis, this disease has
a different time table for effery patient and when we look at RA
the best thing is to look at it on a case by case situation.
There are typical symptoms but they varies from person to person.
Painful and swollen joints, morning stiffness and fatigue are the
most common symptoms.

There are doctors that are specialized in the care for people
with RA called rheumatologist and they are trained specifically
to take a larger look at the patient and not only at the
symptoms. They are mainly specialized in the latest and current
medical care that is available for RA. They can help you with the
latest treatments and the latest drugs.

According to the latest arthritis research when your
rheumatologist is asked for a prognosis for your specific case of
RA the first step he will take is to follow the RA protocol ans
start with the first step. Evaluating the pain level of the
patient and alleviate the pain as good as possible. Sometimes the
help of steroids are being set to work against the inflammation
to relief the pain and sometimes an non steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug can help against the swellings and pain
from this disease.

Arthritis research has lead into many different drug protocols
that your doctor can use to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis, but it
still has not lead to an actual cure. Scientist have a difficult
job just because RA can be so different form person to person.
Doctors still have an difficult job to find the right combination
of drugs to relief the pain of their patients.

So, even with all the arthritis research that has been done
there still is no cure insight and although there have been some
new drugs available they just treat the symptoms and not the
actual disease.

Jonathan Mitchell knows from personal experience what it means to
wake up with pain. On his blog he tells you about subjects
ranging from <a

arthritis symptoms</a> and everything in between.
