If someone truly suffers from the low temperatures characteristic of the winter season are those with Ankylosing Spondylitis (75% of cases are in women). Because their ailments are heightened considerably.

Ankylosing Spondylitis – Force Attacked More When It’s Cold

Rheumatic diseases have accompanied humans almost since its appearance on our planet. And are aware of this anthropological studies of Java man who inhabited the Earth for over 500 thousand years. And show signs of arthritis in his bones. Currently, it is estimated that in Mexico more than a million people see their quality of life affected. By this disease especially women between 20 and 30 years of age. 

Moreover recognizing rheumatoid arthritis as the main cause of incapacity for work; since that is present is accompanied by pain that increases in the same intensity as the disease progresses. The damage starts in the joints the most recurrent wrists knuckles fingers and toes as well as elbows shoulders hips knees and ankles. In later stages affected bones leading to irreversible deformities manifest that can only be treated with surgery.

“Source:… unknown

Despite a history of rheumatoid arthritis mentioned above the experts have failed to define what is the cause of this disease. However, they have been linked to infectious agents like bacteria or viruses. And have found that a high percentage of cases the children repeat the patterns of their parents. 

It is important to emphasize that low temperatures do aggravate the symptoms of the disease but they are not its source. “This is because climate change causes the muscles to contract and therefore the joints become stiff and awkward movements” 

To tell the specialist while not aware of the causes of arthritis may not take preventive measures. However “as indicated mainly for the elderly is very good shelter and protect. Joints with cotton clothing as well as not to expose if possible at low temperatures. 

On the arthritic patient situation in the research also reports. That due to misinformation disease specialist doctors to treat it (rheumatologists) are affected by very few respondents. “The arthritic patient to be treated for early-stage who has the scientific knowledge and not let the damage step when there is little to do.” 

That is why we must be reported to medical symptoms such as unexplained fever tiredness tingling in hands or feet continuous cough chest pain or side dry mouth red eye or skin spots. What’s more, if allowed to proceed rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation and atrophy of the glands. That produce tears saliva digestive juices or discharge in addition to generating dry skin and mucous membranes.

Evolution of drugs

Since infusions for analgesics (pain control) through the use of salicylic acid to modern pharmaceuticals. The man has stopped seeking a response to rheumatoid arthritis. That is why today we can speak of two main groups of drugs for this purpose. The first joint anti-inflammatory which is able to reduce inflammation and thereby achieves cope. With the pain, every day but is not useful to change the disease progression over time. 

In this sector belong nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (known as NSAIDs) among which may be mentioned. Those containing naproxen ketoprofen and aspirin among others. Similarly one can speak of steroids or derivatives of cortisone which if used in moderate doses and special entries allowed in many cases improve the quality of life in the long term.

comprises drugs

The other group comprises drugs that act by making the course of the disease is contained. But not used to treat pain one disadvantage is that should be consumed for long. They are not effective in 100% of patients so it is unusual that the doctor has to prescribe several sequentially until. You find one that is more effective and better tolerated. In this group take gold salts, chloroquine, sulfasalazine D, Peni-sheet azathioprine, cyclosporine, and others. In general, they require supervision by the rheumatologist and the patient closely. 

Scientific advances have succeeded in raising the expectations of patients with arthritis. Because the use of infliximab in combination with methotrexate has shown promising to significantly reduce. The discomfort while avoiding the harmful effects, to the stomach it is a solution that is administered via IV.  

Finally reiterates the importance of receiving care by a physician. Who specializes in this winter season seasonal discomfort is accentuated. On the other hand, may worsen the table and which are not drugs. With a scientific protocol as indeed there are many developed by the pharmaceutical industry” he emphasizes.
