Is Migratory Rheumatoid Arthritis Caused by Other Medical Conditions?
Author Admin
Painful, rigid joints are the main symptom of rheumatoid arthritis, the actual cause is still unknown although there are many theories about the possible causes. There are many types of arthritis and migratory rheumatoid arthritis is one of them. The symptoms differ little from the normal type, the condition seems to move from joint to joint but not in the same way as with normal Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)which has a typical symmetrical pattern. This type does not move from the right to the left but goes from joint to joint in the same body side. So there is a distinct difference in symptoms.
Do we know the migratory rheumatoid arthritis causes?
That question is not easy to answer because the are many different theories about the actual causes but if you look closer they all add up in the same way. There is a list of different medical conditions that seem to trigger migratory rheumatoid arthritis or are at least in some way connected to this illness. One of those medical conditions is enough to be the trigger it is not necessary to have all of them, one is nor than enough. Most of these medical conditions have in some way to do with the body’s immune system.
]]>
The most common conditions are:
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- Rheumatic fever
- Other forms of arthritis
- Lyme disease
- HIV
- Whipples disease
There are many more and some of these conditions are illnesses that are quite uncommon in the western world these days. Vaccinations, inoculation an education have helped to eliminate the risk of getting these diseases. In countries where this is not the case the risks of catching these kind of condition is much higher.
From one joint to the other
Most of the symptoms of migratory RA are the same as with common arthritis these symptoms include pain in the joint area, stiffness in the joint, swelling ore other signs of inflammation. The most common is off course in all cases of arthritis that the pain is concentrated in and around the joints that are effected, there is just one very distinct difference between the common type of RA and the migratory variety and that is that it can spread from joint to joint and causing the symptoms there also.
Cure and Treatment
As with all other types of arthritis there is no cure, there are many different treatments both regular remedies as natural remedies that can help you to deal with the symptoms but an actual cure is still not in sight yet. Most of the time you can divide the treatment in to types, the painkillers and the ones that help the joint from getting stiff. Most regular medication can have severe side effects and this is a reason for more and more people to make the move to natural and homeopathic remedies. These work on a totally different level and the side effects are non existing or very temporally. Also the use of a diet is something that more people are trying. But remember with everything you do in both regular as natural treatment, you need to keep your doctor informed.

Travelling with a Medical Condition
Author Admin
When you are travelling with a medical condition, it is important to take steps to make the journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Take a look through our suggestions for those that apply to you.
Before Your Trip
Get an ID bracelet or necklace that identifies your medical conditions and/or allergies. Check out the many options available from www.id4u.com.au .
Leave your destination contact phone number and address with a friend or relative. Make two copies of your travel documents e.g. passport, visas, tickets etc and leave one with a friend in case of emergency. Keep the other copy with you in separate bag to the originals. This will really speed up replacements if your documents are lost, damaged or stolen.
Register your travel plans if possible with your government agency & check travel warnings for the areas you are planning to visit
You may require vaccinations for destinations you plan to visit. Some need to be done up to six weeks prior to travel. Check with your doctor for details
Arrange for international roaming on your mobile/cell phone. This can take several weeks with some providers. Or you can buy a new SIM card at your destination to use while in a particular country or region. SIM cards are usually available from retailers at major airports. Store important contact numbers in your cell/mobile phone
Arrange for travel insurance. A medical evacuation is VERY expensive.
Ask your doctors’ for notes regarding any medications you are taking and keep them in your hand luggage. Keep your medications and prescriptions in your carry-on in case your luggage is lost. Bring extra prescriptions in case you lose your medications. You may want your medication made up into Webster packs for your trip. This helps to avoid confusion with times & doses. Ask your pharmacist for details.
]]>
Clearly label ALL of your belongings – include phone number if possible and allow yourself extra time to avoid unnecessary stress and fatigue. Use luggage with wheels to avoid carrying it.
Use the bathroom just before you board the plane, bus or train (airlines can make you sit with the seatbelt on for awhile after take-off).
Ask for seats near an exit if you are physically handicapped (you won’t get exit row as they are reserved for people who can assist the crew in an emergency but you should be able sit nearby). Wear special travel pressure socks if you are concerned about your feet swelling or vein problems such as deep vien thrombosis (DVT). You will also need to pre-request any special meals that may be required during a flight.
Buy some hand sanitiser to use when you can’t wash your hands with soap and water. Moist wipes can be very handy in many situations and both of these items are sold in purse packs at supermarkets & pharmacies.
Confirm with your hotels any special access requirements for wheelchair access etc. Make use of assistance with wheel chairs to avoid fatigue.
Check electrical voltage and purchase conversion plugs for your destination for any medical equipment.
You may need a small cooler bag & ice packs if your medication needs to be stored at a certain temperature.
If you are fitted with a pacemaker – carry your pacemaker ID card and show it to airport staff before going through security check points.
Carry a small, portable sharps container for syringes if required.
Pack your own medical kit with paracetamol, bandages, thermometer, antiseptic cream, gastro prevention, antihistamines etc.
Familiarise yourself with exchange rates for the countries you are planning to visit and get some local currency from your bank for each of your main destinations. Your bank may need to order some currencies. Just get enough cash to get your started in each place in case you wish to purchase small items like food, drinks, newspapers, taxis etc.
During Your Trip
Keep hydrated by drinking water throughout the journey. Stick to bottled water if possible.
Make use of assistance with wheel chairs to avoid fatigue and ask about special services for those with disabilities at your destination.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure, wear a hat & apply sunscreen regularly.
Keep medications with you in a convenient place such as a purse or backpack and check locations of local hospitals.
Wear ID your bracelet at all times in case of emergency. You can order one online from www.id4u.com.au. Allow plenty of time for little emergencies.
Practice good hygiene and wash your hands often – use sanitising hand wash if no water available.
These suggestions may seem rather long and over cautious but some advance preparation will make your trip memorable for the right reasons.
