Research Update - March/April 2008 In this issue:

Evaluation of Arthritis Foundation Exercise ProgramIndependent researchers have determined that the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program can improve pain, fatigue and stiffness for people with arthritis.Exercise and Education for FibromyalgiaA combination of strength training, aerobic exercise, flexibility and self-management education is best for people with fibromyalgia, according to a new study.Controlling Bone Loss When Taking SteroidsMany people with arthritis take steroid medications to reduce inflammation. Unfortunately these drugs have unwanted side effects, such as bone loss and osteoporosis. Read what medication has been effective at controlling bone loss in people who take steroids.

Spirituality and Arthritis OutcomesDo people with arthritis have a stronger relationship with a higher power than people without arthritis? Learn more about spirituality and it’s connection to health.

Rate of Bone Loss During MenopauseThe most important risk factor for bone loss for women in mid-life is menopause, but menopause is a process that occurs over years. When does bone loss really kick in? A new study shows that bone mineral density begins to decline substantially in late perimenopause.

Oats and InflammationResearchers have shown that eating oatmeal may help boost your immune system in times of physical stress. This may be good for athletes in training, but what does it mean for people with inflammatory arthritis?

After checking out the article in Research Update about lyrica, I am still a little anxious about starting out on this med. My dr. wants me to come off the duragesic patch slowly(after the patch as really been helping a lot) and starting lyrica. Is there anyone else on Lyrica and if so, how does it work for you and I heard there were a lot of side effects? Thanks for any input Debbie T.

Debbie,

I have used Lyrica and it is a good drug. I only stopped because of

stomach upset. The only big side effect I know of is weight gain.

Debbie it has been nothing but good for me. The first couple of days you might feel a little drowsy, but nothing bad. My neurologist started me at 50mg bid and then up'd it to 75 bid when he found out all the symptoms weren't covered. It has not only controlled my trigeminal neuralgia about 98% but has stopped the hideous stinging in my legs. I sleep at night without wanting to scream because my legs and feel are stinging so bad. Because it stops the stinging I am not constantly clawing at my legs & hands, which isn't a cool thing to do when your diabetic. In short, Lyrica has been great for me.....Connie-FLDebbie wrote: After checking out the article in Research Update about lyrica, I am still a little anxious about starting out on this med.
