Today's Toronto Star included a story on a new report in the journal, Rheumatology, today. Apparently, a study has shown that booze helps pain and inflammation/disease activity in patients with RA.
Feeling Less Pain by Nancy White I know alcohol has pain killing properties, but who'd've thunk it would help disease progression too. So, is this going to result in a run on liquor stores across the nation? Should it result in this??? Will this give people an excuse? And what about the effects on AS darnit!??
There are definite negative aspects to this report. Including the use of alcohol with the meds we take on a regular basis, not to mention the effect on depression levels.
What do you all think?
Warm hugs,
