Rheumatoid Arthritis - MyPhield Helps, You Need More
MyPhield is a useful tool, even for people suffering from RA, but, it should be used as an “energy restore” to relieve soreness on specific joints. Because RA is a systemic disorder we recommend that MyPhield users learn more about the disease and seek out natural, sensible methods to get it under control. Our favorite resource that we refer RA sufferers to is: http://www.LivingWithRheumatoidArthritis.com.
With the MyPhield, you will find that a specifically targeted sore joint will progressively improve with each treatment, but if you really want to get RA fully under control without the use of drugs you need more.
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Starting small and then eventually attacking larger joints, no joint is safe from the threatening damage of rheumatoid arthritis. Sadly, what starts out as simple swelling can gradually turn into achy, throbbing joints that often result in deformities, such as twisted knees and crooked hands. In the end, the disease makes it increasingly harder for patients to accomplish everyday activities, such as walking a dog or twisting the lid off of a jar.
While rheumatoid arthritis commonly occurs in adults between the ages of 40 and 60, the condition does not discriminate. The disease can attack the joints of young children in what is known as 'juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.'
Unfortunately, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. However, with appropriate treatment, patients can lead long, productive lives. Becoming successful in taking control of the disease is often achieved by following a plan of action that involves joint protection, lifestyle changes, and effective pain management.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Signs & Symptoms
The most common signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include joint pain, swelling of the joints, red and puffy hands, fatigue, fever, weight loss, and joints that are tender when touched. The knees, hands, and elbows, often referred to as 'articular joints', are often the hardest hit by rheumatoid arthritis.
Early signs of rheumatoid arthritis often surface first in the smaller joints of the body. Initially, the joints located in the hands, wrists, ankles, and feet feel the effects. As the rheumatoid arthritis gets worse, the shoulders, knees, elbows, hips, jaw, and neck start to show signs of disease.
It is also quite common to suffer the effects of rheumatoid arthritis on a come-and-go basis with varying levels of intensity. This is called a 'flare-up' or 'flare.' Rheumatoid arthritis treatments range from decreasing stress placed on joints to preventing further deterioration. However, one of the most common concerns regarding the disease is achieving instant pain relief without experiencing side effects or waiting for other methods to achieve results.
MyPhield is a safe, effective option that follows you wherever you go – just by directly placing the comforting cushion on affected parts of the body. Combining gentle exercises stretches, and deep breathing with MyPhield relief treatments will maximize results.
