[quote=Anonymous]I had a recent revelation about inflammation. I'm nearing 60 now, but I had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as a young child. I took 16 aspirin daily for several years to fight the inflammation, but I was still left with joint deformities in my hands and feet. I always assumed that I started taking NSAIDs too late to avoid the joint deformities. But the current thinking is that while NSAIDs fight inflammation, they do nothing to fight the underlying disease of RA. The inflammation should be understood as a separate symptom of RA and not as the cause of the joint destruction. Eliminating inflammation with NSAIDs (or diet) does nothing about the disease. (There are drugs now -- such as methotrexate and some biologic drugs -- that *do* fight the disease of RA) I don't know how much this applies to other diseases with inflammation.[/quote]
