What is a Joint?Joints are

–movable, like knees, hips, and shoulders

• Many have cartilage on the ends of the bones where they come together – Healthy cartilage helps bones glide over one another and

prevents them from rubbing against each other

SteroidsDoctors often prescribe a corticosteroid to relieve acute symptoms, with the goal of gradually tapering off the medication.

Corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone, reduce inflammation and pain and slow joint damage, but side effects may include thinning of bones, cataracts, weight gain and diabetes.

ImmunosuppressantsThese medications act to control an out-of-control immune system, which is causing rheumatoid arthritis. Examples of immunosuppressants include azathioprine (Imuran, Azasan) and cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune, Gengraf). These medications can increase your susceptibility to infection.

What your body really needs is the proper nutrition to correct the immune system itself.

Can Food Really Help?“You should aim for a diet that’s high in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, legumes, and olive oil. Limit or avoid red meat, dairy, saturated fats, and sugar to help prevent arthritis and manage arthritis-related inflammation and pain.”
