Arthritis, the hidden dissability
There are more than 115 different types of arthritis. Some are very serious and hold the potential for severe disability and deformity, if left untreated. Others may generate only mild discomfort, which may be totally controlled with relative ease.Myths and misconceptions thrive everywhere. Despite the continued efforts of medical professionals, and The Arthritis Society, a large proportion of the population still believes that arthritis is nothing more that aches and pains, is never dangerous or fatal, is something only old people get , is caused by the weather, or is a disease for witch nothing can be done. Nothing could be further from the truth. Arthritis is much more than aches or pains; it is a serious chronic illness, which usually lasts a lifetime and demands prompt and regular attention. Arthritis is not exclusive to the elderly; more than 30,000 Canadian children already have some form of it, and another 1,000,000 with the disease between 30 and 50 years of age. Climate and weather has little, if anything, to do with the disease other than a psychological impact on the course of the disease. And, arthritis is a disease for which something can be done.
