"Arthritis Is Serious"

"Arthritis Is Serious" Text

If you do not have arthritis, you may think it is a minor thing. Arthritis is serious. Arthritis attacks the body. Some that have arthritis do not have it badly. They can still live normally. Other people have arthritis so bad that it impacts every part of their lives. Some have a little pain in a spot or two. Some have pain everywhere. Many with arthritis have pain that feels like constant torture. That pain can make anything and everything hard. It can be hard to walk. It can be hard just to get comfortable. Arthritis can also limit what you can do for yourself. The pain and the limitations are hard.  Arthritis affects every joint. Those joints include the jaw. Do not forget the joints in your feet. Arthritis does not only affect the joints. Arthritis can affect the muscles. Arthritis can cause headaches and chest pain. But there is more to arthritis than pain and limitations. Arthritis can affect the valve of your heart. It can affect your neck. It can affect your veins. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect your lungs. Arthritis can cause sleep problems. Arthritis can affect your skin. Arthritis can affect your eyes. Arthritis can affect your blood vessels and irritate your stomach. There are so many things arthritis can cause and affect. If you do not have it, you may not realize how badly it can affect you. I have had it since I was 4. It is all I remember. If you have arthritis, hang in there. If you have any health issues, hang in there. Take it one day at a time. If you are in good health, be thankful. That is a huge blessing.
