Hello all out there!! This is going to be short and to the point. I know I have not been updating anything at all and I am sorry for that. For reason why I didn't post was for one thing a while back I had started a new job where I worked very late and just did not have the energy to get into it.
Now even though I no longer work there you would think I be on top of my game but sadly no. Just recently I was told I have Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors . The cause of RA is unknown. It is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
RA can occur at any age, but is more common in middle age. Women get RA more often than men.
Infection, genes, and hormone changes may be linked to the disease.
Symptoms
RA usually affects joints on both sides of the body equally. Wrists, fingers, knees, feet, and ankles are the most commonly affected.
The disease often begins slowly, usually with only minor joint pain, stiffness, and fatigue.
Joint symptoms may include:
Morning stiffness, which lasts more than 1 hour, is common. Joints may feel warm, tender, and stiff when not used for an hour.
Joint pain is often felt on the same joint on both sides of the body.
Over time, joints may lose their range of motion and may become deformed.
Other symptoms include:
Chest pain when taking a breath (pleurisy)
Dry eyes and mouth (Sjogren syndrome)
Eye burning, itching, and discharge
Nodules under the skin (usually a sign of more severe disease)
Numbness, tingling, or burning in the hands and feet
Sleep difficulties.>
Yes I copied and pasted this as you can see it very long to write 0--0..
Okay so manly I have been just going through a lot and haven't really been on top of my blog or anything for that matter. Well it stops because I am back and I will work twice as hard to stay on top of this.. Those who would like to find out more about Rheumatoid Arthritis can go to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov where I got the above info. So again sorry guys this time I will stick and make it work.. Thanks for your understanding...
Until then..
