hi kelly! this is good news and something to be thankful for…i have a friend, who happened to be a nurse, warned me that there are NSAID’s prescribed to RA patients that may lead to Alzheimer’s as that is the side effect of those meds.
i just pray that God would be gracious to us…God bless you and all the RA warriors out there! our God is good… =)
Charizza, I have not read that. There are always lots more studies to read. But you are right God is good and we should not worry too much about things that have not happened either. Maybe you can show this study to your friend to help her feel better?
i will, kelly…thanks again and God bless you! :-))
“Long term consumption of ant-inflammatory medications may reduce Alzheimer’s risk over time, but newer studies suggest that taking them within 2 years of onset of symptoms does not protect against developing Alzheimer’s and may even have negative effects.” From “The Alzheimer’s Answer”, reduce your risk and keep your brain healthy. By Dr Marwan Sabbagh, geriatric neurologist. So taking them early may help, but not once the disease is developing, and at this stage symptoms are not apparent.
I came across this article the other day that I thought was interesting about angiogenesis (blood vessel formation) and RA.

Do you know much more about this or have you done any research on a RA and cancer link or use of oncolytics in RA (other than the obvious one of MTX)?
This post was a nice surprise to find this morning! Very encouraging for me, since I am at high risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease, due to family history. Then my brain starts working (good sign) and asks, “does it still count as a negative risk factor if RA disease activity is modified from the use of RA drugs?
You mentioned being concerned about some short term memory problems you’ve experienced, I will venture to guess why it is completely normal and expected. Pain is distracting. You have a large family to care for. You put in an abundance of time and passion into your work and communicate with a multitude of people each day. There’s only so much space in the hard drive, files need to be compressed.
O the great joy of having such smart readers to banter with!! 😀 Smiling here that you are also giving me so much credit. :heart:
I’m not seeing any datelines, so it’s unclear whether these articles are news or old stuff. Consider starting each post with a dateline.
Thanks
There is a date at the end of each article in the format of this WordPress theme.
Also, most of them have good information regardless of date of publication. And many are “Updated.”
