Arthritis Series: Different Kinds of Arthritis

by Kim Andersen

Dear Friends,

Arthritis can be a bit confusing and sorting out what kind you are dealing with can be a mystery, because it develops differently in people and can have undetermined or multiple causes.

Below is a Quick List of the 3 possible kinds and their general causes (check back with us for future Arthritis blogs):

1. Osteoarthritis:

(missing cartilage)

-Age and use related wear and tear, which can be exasperated by an inflammatory diet.

-Gout, which is a build-up of Uric Acid in the joints (crystals that act like razor blades in your joints).

-Metabolic components such as Adipokines.

2. Autoimmune Arthritis:

(bone erosion, body attacks itself)

  • Rheumatoid
  • Lupis
  • Psoriasis

-High Cytokines (inflammatory markers)

-Gut, Autoimmune Disease Syndrome—brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, digestive issues, rashes.

3. Diabetes

(stiff joints and tendons that can lead to injury)

-High blood sugar stiffens joints and tendons.

*In the following weeks we will be posting addition blogs in this series on our website and Facebook page. Cheers, Kim
