There is a kind of "cancer" that is special and even closely related to the weather. Every time after entering the autumn, the weather gradually turns cold, and the temperature difference between day and night becomes large. Many people suffer from joint swelling, pain and stiffness. What's worse, because of the uncontrollable condition, bone damage results and it develops into The joints are deformed and eventually lose their function and cause disability. It is rheumatoid arthritis, also known as "immortal cancer."
Guo Feng, deputy director of the Department of Rheumatology at Jiangsu Provincial Hospital, said that rheumatoid arthritis is not uncommon in our daily lives. As soon as it rains and it rains and the weather turns cold, friends suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are like a human flesh weather forecast, using their pain to help us predict the coming weather changes. So what's going on with rheumatoid arthritis?
In fact, rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common types of rheumatism. It is a systemic disease characterized by chronic, non-suppurative inflammation in multiple joints throughout the body. Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects the proximal interphalangeal joints, metacarpophalangeal joints, wrists, elbows, shoulders, temporomandibular joints, and toe joints, ankle joints, and knee joints of the fingers, and is generally bilateral and symmetrical. The incidence rate of this disease in China is about 0.32%-0.36%. By the end of 2014, the conservative estimated number of patients is about 5 million, which is one of the main causes of the loss of labor force and disability in China.
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis should eat 3 kinds of medicine
Zhang Yan, director of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at Tangdu Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University, pointed out that three kinds of drugs are generally used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, namely non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (analgesics), glucocorticoids, and slow acting anti-rheumatic drugs. At present, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen are first-line drugs for relieving rheumatoid arthritis pain, but they are only suitable for patients with primary or acute stage, ie they only suppress inflammation and relieve soreness, if not assisted. In other drugs, joint disease will continue to develop.
Therefore, rheumatoid arthritis patients can not “pain and painâ€, while taking analgesics together with the second-line slow action rheumatoid drugs, such as methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, these slow acting drugs It can reduce the further destruction of bone and prevent the progression of the disease. It is the main drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis.
40% of patients have been misdiagnosed
According to clinical statistics, approximately 40% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis are misdiagnosed. Zhang Zhuoli, director of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at the First Hospital of Peking University, said there are two reasons why patients lack understanding of the disease; there is a shortage of rheumatoid immune specialists in China, and many other physicians do not have much knowledge of these diseases. Patients with diseases often go to orthopaedics, dermatology, and Chinese medicine to treat them. There are three common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis: 1. The pain or swelling of the small joints such as fingers, wrists, elbows, and toes. 2. Symmetric distribution. 3. Morning stiffness, that is, the joints become stiff in the morning and the symptoms improve after the activity. When these symptoms occur, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible, especially in a hospital with rheumatology and immunology.
Diet has three requirements
Li Liangjing, chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology at Shanghai Renji Hospital, suggested that patients with rheumatoid arthritis do not shy in principle, but a proper diet can improve symptoms and prevent joint swelling and pain. A varied, balanced diet plan helps prevent and control some arthritis.
First of all, to ensure sufficient calories, mainly sugar and protein, as much as possible to reduce fat intake. If the heat does not meet the body's needs, it may cause the disease to deteriorate or fail to tolerate the toxic and side effects of the medication.
Second, perennial medication will affect appetite and digestive function, should choose easily digestible food, cooking methods to light and refreshing principle, try to eat less spicy, greasy or cold food.
