Inflammation and sunburn

One thing I have learn from living in the tropics is to take care to avoid sunburn, although I do occasionally get caught out.

Sunburns are the worst thing ever. But they are even more painful for those with a chronic inflammatory disease like rheumatoid arthritis. A sunburn is an acute inflammatory reaction of the skin that follows excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun. So basically, if your skin gets burnt it sends a trigger to you immune system (often being suppressed by a biologic medication) to hurry up and heal the burnt area.

But that's the last thing you want to happen — because it can send your body into a full flare-up mode. you could feel like a big puff ball, as your body responds to the inflammation started by sunburn.

With rheumatoid arthritis(RA), your immune system — which usually does a great job fighting germs that want to cause infections — turns its powerful attack on your body. Certain chemicals cause severe inflammation in your joints, which then causes the pain and swelling that comes along with the disease. But according to research, we should not only be worried about the inflammation in our joints that can cause joint damage, because the inflammation runs throughout our entire body with a flare-up. Eventually, it can cause inflammation in your heart. That's why it is important to try to suppress the inflammation caused by RA. .
