Book description
Arthritis is widespread. Osteoarthritis affects more than eight
million in the UK, while a further million have rheumatoid arthritis.
Fibromyalgia is even more common than rheumatoid arthritis, while some
15,000 children have juvenile arthritis. Self-help, though, is of
great use, and Coping with Rheumatism and Arthritis presents a
holistic, positive approach. It looks at how body, emotions, mind and
lifestyle interact, and how to cope with pain, stiffness, tiredness
and chronic fatigue syndrome. It also discusses nutrition and
complementary therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic, osteopathy,
herbal medicine, reflexology and homeopathy.
