A link between asthma and arthritis you say? But these are two totally different illness. Well, scientists today have found a link between these two different diseases. It is Inflammation - heat, redness and swelling. Other inflammatory illnesses are hepatitis, dermatitis, tonsillitis. Itis is on the end of each of these words. It means inflammation. If you have read some of my previous blogs you will have noticed how I suggest using food for health. A connection has been made by nutritionists and scientists between deep fried fatty foods and inflammation. If you have any sort of inflammation, their recommendation is NOT to eat deep fried fatty foods. So when your arthritis is playing up, do not have fish and chips for dinner or any other deep fried or fatty foods. Remember also that just a little bit of these foods is not alright when you have any sort of inflammation - that is heat, redness, swelling.

I have asthma and was diagnosed in 1978 while serving in the Army in Germany. I am 61 years old. I recently had an Xray in the last year which showed arthritis has developed. I have been on medication for my asthma since 1978. I am 60% disabled with VA for asthma and am totally disabled with social security for asthma and arthritis. I am in arbitration with VA over my rating and was told that because of my asthma and the madications I have taken over the years could be the reason I have developed arthritis. Is this possible and how can I prove that this is a linked disease brought on by my dependency on asthma medication through all these years? Please reply as soon as possible! Social security says I am unemployable because of my asthma and arthritis and therefore totally disabled under the law. Iam rated with VA @ 60% for asthma and 10% for hearing loss, but so far does not acknowledge that my arthritis is linked. I have lost significant bone loss and probably should ask for a bone density test! I am small framed, 5" 11" At normal weight I weigh 175. I now weigh 149. Please reply as soon as possible! Thank you
