My wife had a audio tape all about RA, it's symptoms and it treatments, but this has been lost. Can anyone direct me to a site where something of this nature can be downloaded ?? Thanks

I was doing a little bit of reading about osteoarthritis that leaves me confused about what seems like it must be the central issue of the disease. On one hand, all conventional wisdom seems to agree that cartilage virtually "doesn't heal", and that osteoarthritis results from a cumulative "wearing away" of joints over a lifetime. Yet it is also acknowledged that different individuals with the same life-style have wildly differing degrees of osteoarthritis, which seems strange for a solely...

Iron - the bad guy in haemophilic chronic joint disease? 04 Apr 2005 Mutations in the HFE gene, which is involved in iron regulation, seem to be directly associated with chronic joint disease (or haemophilic arthropathy) among haemophilic patients, claim a team of Portuguese scientists in the April issue of the journal Blood. The results, from a small group of hemophilic patients, if confirmed in a larger population, could have important implications, not only for the treatment of haemophilic...

Steven Reinberg, "If You Think You'll Feel Better, You Will", Health Day, August 24, 2005, Pain relief may just be mind over matter. According to new research, the belief that a pill will relieve pain is enough to cause the brain to release its own natural painkillers. The finding is the first direct evidence that the brain's own pain-fighting chemicals, endorphins, have a role in the phenomenon

... just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Went to the docs with ever increasing pain all over my body, (symetrical), expected him to say it was Osteo arthritis, just like my moms got, but after the blood tests come back he says its Rheumatoid. He didnt say much at all about it, just that he would make me an appointment to see a rheumatologist, and in the meanwhile to take painkillers when needed. I have to wait another 3 weeks before I can see the rheumatologist. I do not have too...

My husband just noticed that he's gone through about 20 strips with his Freestyle blood glucose monitor code set to 17 when it should have been set to 12. He's not expecting to correct those readings with any precision, but does anyone know at least what direction the correction would go in, and better yet a back of the envelope algorithm for a reasonable guess? thanks, --thelma

All of the official medical literature I have ever read says that Rheumatoid Arthritis causes severe fatigue, but the same literature gives the impression that Osteoarthritis does not cause any fatigue. However, in a Reader's Digest article within the last 5 years skater Dorothy Hamill (spelling?) said that her Osteoarthritis caused a great deal of fatigue until it was diagnosed and treated. So what is the truth according to the experience of people who actually have Osteoarthritis?

My name is Sonia St. Claire. I live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 1994 and was bed-ridden (on and off) for about 18 months with symptoms including chronic anaemia, joint pain (requiring three operations) all whilst being prescribed heavy rheumatic drugs. I cured myself through diet and a positive attitude. It was all trial and error with a few setbacks, and I have now been in remission and drug free since July 1999.
