Got an email today from the Arthritis Foundation with this link:
Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain Relief Without Drugs
I clicked on it to see if there was a magic trick.
I scroll down thru the list...
Here is a quick list of some popular non-drug therapies for arthritis pain relief. They may be used alone, or in conjunction with each other.
• Hot and cold treatments.
• Positive attitude and thoughts.
• Relaxation techniques.
• Massage.
• Electrical stimulation.
• Topical lotions.
• Acupuncture.
I have heard of all those before and use most.
The last one made my day.
• Sense of humor. Many studies have demonstrated that humor can bolster the immune system and increase the ability to handle pain.
I think it is actually the most important!
They should have listed it FIRST!
