Painful Spring
Although it may seem that after months of winter rheumatoid arthritis could calm down for a while, the opposite may be true. Even in the spring, people with this illness do not win. Research has shown that while in the autumn the disease is often in remission (unprintable period), it usually deteriorates in the spring. The question remains what is the cause. Could this be reduced barometric pressure or other weather changes? For example, a 2007 study has found that any 10 ° C decrease in temperature accompanied by a fall in pressure is followed by a worsening of the joint symptoms. Sudden aprile weather changes can often cause pain for people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Lay smart
Even in the spring it is still necessary to hold the joints in the heat - a cold blow and the evenings still persist. If the joints cool, they are more painful and stiff. Conducting routine activities makes you much more effort. In March and April, he is still paying for clothing. If you are wearing a lot of weaker "skeins," it's easy to get warm. In addition, lightweight T-shirts or sweaters work better than one thick sweater.
Body warm
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often suffer from stiffness of the small joints of the hands. Gloves can help, and they do not have to be thick and rusty as in winter. Just get compression gloves. They have open fingers and are designed to help with pain and stiffness of the joints thanks to the support of blood circulation.
Extensions are attracted to outdoor seating. But just sitting down, one can easily cool. A great treat is a blanket with sleeves. It allows you to keep most of your body warm while having free hands for reading a book. You will not even make a mistake with the heating mat.
