Accent hard to understand
Thanks
My mom has Rheumatoid Arthritis (only my mom doesn't run in the family). I'm only 15 and have been experiencing symptoms. Getting my blood tested tomorrow. Please pray for me everyone 🙏🏼. I've seen my mom as a child, how hard her life was. This is seriously gonna ruin my life if I have it.
My joints are screaming after watching this lol 😭 But seriously, super informative! Thanks Osmosis!
I have the same joint pain but no diagnosis of Ra. I have hypothyroidism.
So just suffer with significant hip pain.
Really good and detailed information
😊
Excellent! Clear explanation. Thank you so much.
I get gout in my toes but recently expanded to my tarsal joints, which are painful when I lift my feet whilst walking
Excellent piece of information to me
Whoever made the decision to use this particular voice to do the narrative should have another go at it. For a serious matter and one that many listeners will be an already distressed state it is ‘glib/ joyful/ without compassion/ triumphant in its own self righteousness.
The info seems good but delivery is well off key.

A quick AI search revealed what no Dr. will tell you. “Decreased inflammation and remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are associated with increases in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol. This phenomenon, known as the "lipid paradox," is often observed in RA patients as their disease activity and inflammation decrease.”
My mother has this disease tell me what to do 😢😢
What is the role of physiotherapy in treatment of RA?

Although I don't speak English well, this channel is the best channel to explain medical diseases in a detailed and enjoyable way.❤❤❤
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune and systemic disease that primarily affects the joints, causing chronic inflammation, pain, stiffness, and progressive deformity. It is characterized by the abnormal activation of the immune system, which attacks the synovial membrane of the joints, leading to inflammation and eventual structural damage. Although its exact cause is not fully understood, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as infections or smoking, which can trigger the autoimmune response. The disease is more common in women and usually manifests between the ages of 20 and 40.
The inflammatory process not only affects the joints but can also compromise other organs and systems.
The treatment of RA aims to control inflammation, relieve symptoms, and prevent the progression of joint damage. Medications such as methotrexate are used to help modulate the immune response, along with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids for pain and inflammation management. In more advanced or refractory cases, biological therapies targeting specific inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha or interleukins, are employed. A comprehensive approach and early diagnosis are key to improving the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
