1 Best Homeopathic treatment for Rheumatoid arthritis

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common persistent inflammatory arthritis, occurring throughout the world and in all ethnic groups.
• The prevalence is lowest in black Africans and Chinese, and highest in Pima Indians.
• The clinical course is prolonged, with intermittent exacerbations and remissions.
• Patients with RA have an increased mortality when compared with age matched controls, primarily due to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
• This is most marked in those with severe disease, with a reduction in expected lifespan by 8–15 years.
• Around 40% of RA patients are registered as disabled within 3 years of onset, and around 80% are moderately to severely disabled within 20 years.
• Functional capacity decreases most rapidly at the beginning of disease and the functional status of patients within their first year of RA is often predictive of long term outcome.
• Factors that associate with a poorer prognosis are disability at presentation, female gender, involvement of MTP joints, radiographic damage at presentation, smoking and a positive RF (Rheumatoid Factor).

Other Factors:

• In former years, around 25% of patients required a large joint replacement but rates are now falling, probably reflecting more aggressive and effective medical therapy. 
• Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just your joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels.
• An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body’s tissues.
• Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
• The joint damage that RA causes usually happens on both sides of your body.
• So if a joint is affected in one of your arms or legs, the same joint in the other arm or leg will probably be affected, too. 

Joints:

• Joint pain
• Joint swelling, warmth and redness
• Stiffness, especially first thing in the morning or after sitting still for a long time.
• Extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid disease:

Systemic e.g.:

• Fever

• Weight loss
• Fatigue
• Susceptibility to infection

Musculo-skeletal e.g.:

• Muscle-wasting
• Tenosynovitis
• Bursitis

• Osteoporosis

  Hematological e.g.:

• Anemia
• Thrombocytosis
• Eosinophilia

Lymphatic e.g.:

• Felty’s syndrome
• Splenomegaly

Nodules e.g.:

• Sinuses

• Fistula

Ocula e.g.:

• Episcleritis
• Scleritis
• Scleromalacia
• Keratoconjunctivitis sicca

Vasculitis e.g.:

• Digital arteritis
• Ulcers
• Pyoderma gangrenosum
• Mononeuritis multiplex
• Visceral arteritis

Cardiac e.g.:

• Pericarditis
• Myocarditis
• Endocarditis
• Conduction defects
• Coronary vasculitis
• Granulomatous aortitis

Pulmonary e.g.:

• Nodules
• Pleural effusions
• Fibrosing alveolitis
• Bronchiolitis
• Caplan’s syndrome

Neurological e.g.:

• Cervical cord compression
• Compression neuropathies
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Mononeuritis multiplex

Amyloidosis 

• Nobody knows what causes the immune system to malfunction.
• Some people appear to have genetic factors that make it more likely.
• One theory is that bacteria or a virus triggers RA in people who have this genetic feature.
• In RA, the immune system’s antibodies attack the synovium, which is the smooth lining of a joint. When this happens, pain and inflammation result.
• Inflammation causes the synovium to thicken.
• Eventually, if left untreated, it can invade and destroy cartilage the connective tissue that cushions the ends of the bones.
• The tendons and ligaments that hold the joint together can also weaken and stretch.
• The joint eventually loses its shape and configuration.
• The damage can be severe. 

Risk factors:

Factors that may increase your risk of rheumatoid arthritis include:

Sex i.e.:

• Women are more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis.

Age i.e.:

• Rheumatoid arthritis can occur at any age, but it most commonly begins in middle age.

Family history i.e.:

•  If a member of your family has rheumatoid arthritis, you may have an increased risk of the disease.

Smoking i.e.:

• Cigarette smoking increases your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, particularly if you have a genetic predisposition for developing the disease.
• Smoking also appears to be associated with greater disease severity.

Environmental exposures i.e.:

• Although poorly understood, some exposures such as asbestos or silica may increase the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.
• Emergency workers exposed to dust from the collapse of the World Trade Center are at higher risk of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Obesity

i.e.:

•  People especially women age 55 and younger who are higher-weight person appear to be at a somewhat higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. 

To establish diagnosis:

• Clinical criteria
• ESR
• CRP
• Ultrasound
• MRI
• Rheumatoid factor
• Anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies

Monitor disease activity and drug efficacy:

• Pain (visual analogue scale)
• Early morning stiffness (minutes)
• Joint tenderness
• Joint swelling
• DAS28 score
• ESR and CRP
• Ultrasound

To monitor disease damage:

• X-rays
• Functional assessment

To monitor drug safety:

• Urinalysis
• Full blood count
• Urea
• Creatinine
• Liver function tests 

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate):

• This test assesses levels of inflammation in the body.
• It measures how fast red blood cells in a test tube separate from blood serum over a set period.
• If the red blood cells settle quickly as sediment, inflammation levels are high.
• This test is not specific for RA and is a useful test for other inflammatory conditions or infections.

C-reactive protein (CRP):

• The liver produces CRP.
• A higher CRP level suggests that there is inflammation in the body.
• This test is not specific for RA and CRP can occur in other inflammatory conditions or infection.

Anemia:

• Many people with RA also have anemia.
• Anemia happens when there are too few red blood cells in the blood.
• Red blood cells carry oxygen to the tissues and organs of the body.

Rheumatoid factor:

• If an antibody known as rheumatoid factor is present in the blood, it can indicate that RA is present.
• However, not everyone with RA tests positive for this factor.
