HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR DOCTOR: REITER\'S SYNDROME, RELAXATION
Reiter\'s Syndrome
An infection of gonorrhea or chlamydia lights the slow burning fuse of Reiter\'s Syndrome. Years later the hapless victim develops a form of arthritis like Rheumatoid Disease. Multiple joints are affected and symptoms range from mild polyarthralgia to incapacitating pain and swelling in the knees or spine. The inflammation is chronic and smoulders for a very long time. Most people with Reiter\'s Syndrome test positive for the tissue type HLA Ð’ 27 and it is hard to believe that the want of a condom can lead to such a painful and prolonged affliction.
Relaxation
Relaxation is more than just the absence of anxiety. It is a positive mental state during which the bodies’ stores of psychic energies are restored. The relaxed individual is one who can draw on boundless stores of energy in pursuit of every day activities. The price of relaxation is the allocation of time to organize and plan a life where stressful situations come under control. It includes the time spent practicing mental and physical exercises designed to bring about the harmonious adjustment of body and mind. Relaxation also holds the promise of an improved immune system. This offers the consequent alleviation of allergic conditions, burnout and a host of other psycho somatic afflictions.
Home Remedies
Try Zen, Yoga or Tai Chi. Purchase some locally produced relaxation tapes or read classics of the personal development literature such as \"The Time Trap\" and \"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People\". There are worse places to start the process of mental and physical relaxation.
