Inflammation, which shows itself as heat, swelling, redness, and pain, is the body’s way of reacting when something is damaging body tissue. But in arthritis, it is the inflammation itself that is doing the damage and more than 200,000 North Carolin ians are victims of this disease. ' ' A h„|j,L iiia4 M L !

Bast =■ • *:<w -• ,• ■ "’M Thdre are five common but different forms of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthrisit is the most serious, the most pain ful, and the most crippling form of arthritis. It primarily attacks the joints but can also affect the lungs, skin, blood vessels, muscles, heart, and even the eyes. In children it occurs in a form known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint disease, is principally a wear-and-tear disease of the joints which comes with getting older. It is usually mild and is not generally inflammatory but can sometimes produce con siderable pain. Milk to severe disability may develop gra dually. Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory arthritis of the spine and affects men ten times as often as women. It usually begins in the teens or early twenties, but is rarely seen in persons over age thirty. Rheumatic fever is an acute disease which follows a bacterial streptococcus in fection and is frequently damaging to the heart. It is most common to children between the ages of five and fifteen. It may cause inflam mation in the joints which subsides quickly without crip pling. Gout, also known as gouty arthritis, is an inherited disease which most often affects the small joints, especially the big toe. Most of its victims are men. it you have joint pain consult your personal physi cian for evaluation and treatment. Early detection and early treatment can prevent most of the crippling of this disease and new therapies and many promis ing new drugs are emc rging. In North Carolina the number of physicians specializing in this area, called rheumatolo gists, has increased from 5 in 1971 to 22 in 1977 and more are being trained at the state’s medical schools. 1 A <, forest fire isa shame. ■i v Starting one is a crime. fiffl A Public Service of Thi» Newspaper (joncJ The AdvcrtUing Council
