Daily precautions for rheumatoid arthritis

  Many patients with rheumatoid rheumatism take medication seriously after getting sick, but they still feel pain from time to time, and their blood sedimentation and c-reactive protein are always abnormal when they go to the hospital for laboratory tests. These patients feel confused and always come to ask questions. In fact, rheumatoid arthritis patients drug treatment is only one aspect, daily life should also pay attention to some details, now I will share some of my experience with you.  First, diet regulation. As rheumatoid arthritis patients are basically complicated by osteoporosis, so rheumatoid patients should choose foods rich in calcium and vitamin D. Animal protein is easily absorbed and should be the first choice. Shrimp skin calcium content is high, more shrimp is beneficial to calcium absorption, in addition, milk, fish, beef, cheese and other food calcium is also easily absorbed by the body. In addition, because rheumatoid patients take a variety of drugs for a long time, such as immunosuppressants, regia, etc., these drugs have stimulation of the stomach, so as far as possible to avoid eating vinegar and chili, garlic and other irritating food, to avoid injury to the gastric mucosa.  Second, pay attention to keep warm and avoid upper respiratory tract infections. When the weather changes, especially when it gets cold, patients with rheumatoid arthritis will feel increased pain, which is due to the stimulation of blood vessels caused by cold. There is also a situation where the condition is aggravated by upper respiratory tract infection after getting cold. Therefore, patients should pay attention to keep warm, do not catch a cold.  Third, outdoor activities. When the weather is fine, pay attention to outdoor activities. Outdoor activities can not only exercise the joints, but also promote the conversion and absorption of vitamin D3, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.  Fourth, maintain a healthy state of mind. For the disease, you should pay attention to it and defy it at the same time, and build up the confidence to overcome it.  Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery!
