All we from time to time are ill with this or that illness.The main thing should be defined what the reason of illness is and then it will be possible to make a decision what drug to use. Someone prefers to address at once to the doctor.Personally I for a long time am prefering not to address to doctors as they seldom helped me and at times even harmed.

I have decided to have medical treatment myself if it of course is not very serious illness.I had refered little bit to medical literature.What illnesses we collide with?

The reasons of illnesses are various and numerous.Their consideration naturally enough leads to classification of illnesses on following basic groups: 1) congenital defects; 2) infections; 3) infringements of a metabolism; 4)avitaminosis(vitamin insufficiency (deficiency); 5) tumoral diseases; 6) the illnesses caused by physical or chemical influences, poisons and an intoxication; 7) degeneration diseases; allergies.

Illnesses also classify to action on which organs or systems of an organism they influences.So, there are illnesses of digestive system, organs of breath or cardiovascular system. Almost all diseases fall under such classification. However mental frustration make a separate category as are connected with mental or emotional changes.

There are special group of diseases of still unknown origin (illnesses that amaze a lymph nodes, a leather,lungs, bones and other structures of an organism).

Illnesses of infectious character are rather numerous and often lead to fatal outcomes. Among them distinguish the diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, the elementary, worms and arthropods (in particular, insects). As a whole, the majority of infectious diseases is characterized by a number of the general attributes.

Treatment have radically changed basically with sulfamidic preparations and antibiotics(penicillin, streptomycin, etc.) So, absolutely differently, than earlier,it began to treat a tuberculosis, a pneumonia and a meningitis.

Infringements of a metabolism – very important group of diseases. Their reason can be infringement of such processes as digestion of nutrients, interaction between glands of internal secretion or regulation of development and use of hormones, synthesis of enzymes. In studying the nature of such illnesses the greater role belongs to chemistry and biochemistry.

Deficiency illnesses happen more often from lack of the certain vitamins B to food. Deficiency arising in an organism is caused by specific infringements (first of all processes of a metabolism) and the scurvy, a rickets and gout leads to such diseases, for example.

More often reason of disease are physical influences (warmly, a cold, a sunlight, compressed air, an electric current).

Allergic diseases are caused by the raised sensitivity or the certain substances, or physical factors, for example,to a cold or a heat. The most widespread allergic diseases – a bronchial asthma, red rash and a hay fever.

As a rule, illnesses have the certain displays (symptoms) which the patient can notice, for example a pain, rise in temperature, dizziness, a nausea or a short wind.

Carefully made analysis with the full description of all symptoms serves as the best help for statement of the diagnosis. Some symptoms happens that difficultly correctly to interpret, for example,to define the reason of weariness, a headache or tachycardia. It is known, that the organic reason of some symptoms sometimes long time remains not distinguished.

Nevertheless careful analysis,all the same, must result for us by target.

There are many medicines and drug on a market now and It is at times difficult to choose and it happens that it is impossible to find the necessary drug.

I now prefer to buy medicines online.I found web site where is good choice of the most effective drug. I recommend you to visit this site on reference.

Description

Unlike osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory, not degenerative, disease. It first appears as an inflammation in a joint’s synovium, the membrane that lines and lubricates the joint. Once inflamed, the membrane thickens and become sore and swollen-which in turn may limit the affected joint’s movement. In time, this inflammation spreads to other parts of the affected joint, causing even more stiffness and pain. Eventually, the inflammation can spread to organs, such as the heart, lungs, and eyes. Its ability to spread throughout the body makes rheumatoid arthritis a systemic disease-a disease that affects the entire body.

Inflammation is not a harmful state, per se. It’s actually your body’s normal response to infections and injuries, caused when your white cells battle an invading organism. Typically, the inflammation subsides after the infection is wiped out. However, with rheumatoid arthritis, the autoimmune system seems to fight the body instead of protecting it.

While the disease can strike at any time, it usually occurs between the ages 20 and 50. It affects approximately three times as many women as men.

Unlike illnesses that have a set progression of symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis is unpredictable. What symptoms appear, how often they appear, and what joints and organs are affected vary widely, depending on the individual. In some sufferers, rheumatoid arthritis will flare up occasionally, only to be followed by periods of normal health. Others experience recurring attacks without returning to a state of full wellness in between. Many experience a slow and steady increase in the severity of their symptoms over time.

Some people with rheumatoid arthritis develop small lumps under the skin near the elbow, ears, or nose, or on the back of the scalp, over the knee, or under the toes. Called rheumatoid nodules, these painless and non-problematic bumps range from the size of a pea to the size of a Ping-Pong ball.

While medical experts have not identified a single cause for rheumatoid arthritis, possibilities include heredity, viral or bacterial infection, and emotional stress.

Signs and Symptoms

Pain, swelling, redness, and warmth in the affected joint-most commonly affects the smaller joints of your hands and feet, but elbows, knees, and ankles can be affected

Usually affects joints symmetrically (both hands, for example)

Overall stiffness and achiness, especially after periods of stillness, such as sleeping or long plane rides

Symptoms are worse in the early morning and lessen as the day progresses. General malaise/weakness

Anemia

Pain usually occurs during rest and movement

Conventional Medical Treatment

A series of blood tests, along with a thorough physical exam and medical history, can confirm whether you have rheumatoid arthritis. X-rays may also be helpful. Strategies for treating rheumatoid arthritis differ, depending on whether it is active or in remission. During a flare-up, a combination of rest, heat, and medication is prescribed. Anti-inflammatory drugsaspirin, in particular are the first line of treatment and may ease symptoms. There are several other medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Your doctor may prescribe gold salts, penicellamine, methotrexate, azathioprine, or anti-malarials, depending on how your symptoms progress. Corticosteroids can temporarily relieve pain and inflammation, but they are usually reserved for those with more serious disease.

Physical therapy plays a major role in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is most effective when swelling and inflammation of the joint are suppressed with medications. Physical therapy can reduce deformity and restore function.

In severe cases, surgical removal of affected joint lining can prevent damage to other joint structures and cartilage. Another surgical procedure fuses the painful, uncushioned bones together but is only performed on the wrist, feet, ankles, and thumbs because it restricts motion. Tendon transfer is another surgical option for repairing damaged tendons and ligaments it is performed most frequently on the hands. Another option is arthroplasty, or joint replacement, which is usually performed on knees, hips, and shoulders.
