Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease. The changes in rheumatoid arthritis patients are all inextricably linked to our daily life, so it is necessary to pay attention to the little things in daily life to reduce the pain of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Here I share with you the following points, I hope that our friends with rheumatoid arthritis can be helpful. 1, emotions: as the saying goes, “three parts treatment, seven parts nourishment”, no matter what the disease, in the spirit of stimulation can occur when the disease is aggravated, especially and the human immune related rheumatoid arthritis patients. The actual fact is that the actual person should always be optimistic and cheerful, not to worry and fear, pessimistic and disappointed and sullen, depressed. We must learn self-restraint, self-regulation, broad-mindedness, and establish the belief that we can overcome the disease. Believe that I will be able to overcome the disease! 2, clothing, food, housing and transport: clothing should be comfortable, light, easy to put on and take off. Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis sensitive to climate change, cloudy, rainy, cold and wet, joint swelling and pain can be aggravated, therefore, the change of season (autumn and winter, spring and summer) should pay particular attention to cold and wet, avoid wind blowing cold or rain wet. In summer, you should wear long sleeves and long pants to sleep, and you should not use bamboo mats and bamboo beds. Winter clothes should be warm, but not too heavy. When it rains, try to go out as little as possible, do not lie in the wind or sleep in the electric fan to get cool. The size of shoes should be suitable, should choose light and soft hard-soled soft shoes, laces should be used instead of elastic straps, do not wear high heels. Pay attention to protect the joint parts with a sheath to avoid direct blowing wind. The height of the bed should be appropriate, and a chair can be placed beside the bed to help get up. When resting in bed, the pillow should not be too high, should not sleep on a soft mattress, do not put a pillow pad under the knee to avoid deformities of the hip and knee joints. The toilet can be equipped with a certain height of plastic cushion seat, and installed around the handrail. It is best to take a shower while sitting on a stool instead of using a tub. Dining tables and desks should be adjusted to the right height and chairs that support the lower back and are not too soft and not too short should be used. The ends of crutches should be rubberized to prevent slipping, and braces and crutches are the best way to help some people walk, on crutches themselves whenever possible. Do housework in moderation, dry for a while to take a break, and often change positions. You can sit instead of standing to iron clothes, use long tools to sweep the floor to reduce bending, and squat down before taking things. Diet is appropriate to eat high protein, high nutrition food. You should also eat more fruits and vegetables to replenish vitamins, drink milk to replenish calcium, and maintain a balanced nutrition. You can drink alcohol in moderation (it is not harmful to the disease, and drinking alcohol in moderation can promote blood circulation), but it is forbidden when taking NSAIDs and methotrexate, and for those with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. It is not advisable to eat too much high-fat food such as fatty meat, and it is also advisable to put less oil in stir-fry and soup, and to maintain a normal weight to avoid overweight to increase the burden on the joints. It is not advisable to consume too much animal offal and seafood, too much acidic, salty and spicy stimulating food, too much sugar for patients taking hormones for a long time, and also pay attention to low salt diet. It can be supplemented with foods that are lacking in the body or beneficial to relieve the disease, such as fish oil, vitamins, algae, cordyceps, royal jelly, ginseng, honey, etc., which can enhance the immunity of the body. 3, sunshine: In windless and sunny weather, it is advisable to spend more time outdoors in the sun. Sunbathing site should be selected in fresh air and pollution-free places, such as grass, parks, riverside and beaches. Before sunbathing, you should take an air bath for 5-10 minutes in the shade to adapt your body to the outdoor temperature, usually at 9-11 a.m. or 3-5 p.m. In summer, it is better to take a sunbath in the morning and in winter, it is better to take a sunbath in the afternoon. If there is no adverse reaction, then increase by 5 minutes every other day, and gradually reach 60 minutes per day, the sunbathing time can be extended accordingly in winter, and the sunlight is stronger at high places than low places and contains more ultraviolet rays, but it is prohibited when accompanied by active tuberculosis, heart failure and febrile diseases. If there is general discomfort, fatigue, insomnia and loss of appetite due to sunbathing, should be suspended, if the skin redness and swelling should also be terminated, should not read books and newspapers when sunbathing, so as not to damage the eyes. 4.Pregnancy: It is best to get pregnant only when the condition is stable and the relevant drugs are stopped for more than six months. The first three months of pregnancy and the second trimester of pregnancy must be strictly limited with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, if necessary, in the middle of pregnancy and lactation can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with a short half-life, such as ibuprofen, etc. During pregnancy, the use of cytotoxic drugs, such as methotrexate, cyclophosphamide and Eroica, etc., gold preparations, penicillamine and tretinoin are best not used. 5, rest and exercise: In the following cases should pay attention to rest: acute attacks or repeated attacks between, there are fever, blood sedimentation significantly increased and increased white blood cells; affected joints significantly swollen, joint cavity with effusion; cervical spine or lower limb weight-bearing joint lesions are obvious; complications of vasculitis or cardiopulmonary lesions. Bed rest for 2-3 weeks is appropriate, and when the acute symptoms or systemic symptoms and arthritis disappear and joint pain is reduced, you can get out of bed and move around. Because long-term bed rest will incur the risk of joint stiffness, muscle atrophy, bone atrophy and increased bone fragility. Exercise should be gradual, to just trigger the pain for the degree, exercise before the hot compress, often change the exercise. Rest at least 10 minutes for every hour of exercise, at least 2 times a day. At the beginning, simple functional exercises can be performed, and later the amount of exercise is gradually increased, and fast walking and backward walking are possible. Patients who are in good health can also do fast running, long-distance running and variable speed running, in addition to taijiquan, taiji sword, qigong, cycling, elderly disco, traditional dance and aerobics. Each person can choose according to his or her own situation. In places where there are hot springs, you can take regular hot spring baths every year. Exercising in warm water can reduce joint pain and promote muscle relaxation. 6, regular review: rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease, some drugs work more slowly, and everyone reacts differently to drugs, so doctors need to understand the patient’s efficacy and adverse reactions to drugs, and to adjust the drugs. This requires our rheumatoid arthritis patients to “visit” their doctors regularly. Some patients who have been taking medication for a period of time do not have pain in their joints and think that they are cured, so they stop taking medication and do not come for follow-up. One day when they relapse, they have to start treatment all over again. This repeatedly stops the medication, repeatedly relapses, the condition is not effectively controlled, and the best time for treatment will be lost. Some patients take medication for a long time without laboratory tests, and as a result, they do not know about the abnormal blood picture and liver function damage, and it is too late when it is discovered. So remember to have regular check-ups! These are the things that patients with rheumatoid arthritis should pay attention to in their daily lives, I hope they can help you!
