There are many ways to deal with chronic arthritis pain.  Today I choose to write about it in a very simple way, by composing a haiku. Yep, I said &#8220;haiku.&#8221; I blame the haiku idea on feeling generally quirky today.

What do these three seemingly unrelated things have in common?
They were all in Westwood, California this afternoon. Shia LaBeouf (Megan Fox, if she&#8217;s more your style) was presumably attending the premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, at the Mann Bruin while I was tending to my rheumatoid arthritis at my rheumatologist&#8217;s office.

I ran across an interesting article about how gum disease might be linked to Rheumatoid Arthritis. A recent study concluded that when patients received treatment for their gum disease, their RA symptoms improved. From the article:
The study, published in the Journal of Periodontology, found treating gum disease was linked with reduced joint pain, fewer swollen [...]]]></description>
