There are some misconceptions about treating rheumatoid arthritis

  Rheumatoid arthritis is a common rheumatic disease that often leads to joint deformation and disability. The disease is associated with genetics, environment, and infection. As with other chronic diseases, there is no cure. If you can get systematic and standardized treatment, most of them can be completely relieved, but there are many misconceptions in the treatment.  First, the eagerness to seek a “cure”, listening to some overstatement of propaganda and small advertising. I think the disease can be cured within a short period of time, and go around to doctors, leading to misdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of the phenomenon is very common. In the questionnaire survey that I can conduct on Lei Feng is the key eh eye patients found that most patients have misdiagnosis, mistreatment of medical experience, and even delayed for more than ten years, resulting in joint disability.  Second, the long-term use of painkillers. Some people still mistakenly believe that rheumatoid arthritis is “undead cancer”, there is no treatment, pessimistic and disappointed about the treatment, no confidence, they go to the pharmacy to buy some painkillers to eat, stop the pain even if something also arbitrarily increase the dose, which is wrong. Although many painkillers can relieve joint pain and swelling, they do not treat the symptoms and cannot prevent joint destruction and deformation.  Third, the use of hormones will be good. Glucocorticoids are often used indiscriminately because of their strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and they take effect very quickly. Many viewers have experienced that once they eat or take a shot, they don’t have pain anymore, they can eat, and they become fat, but they can’t stop, as if they are “addicted”. In fact, besides gaining weight, long-term use of hormones can lead to hypertension, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. If you use hormones, you should follow your doctor’s advice.
