These Mittens Can Help Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms

Marita Loffredo is a 52-year old resident of West Warwick, Rhode Island. Marita has suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis since she was 17 years old. Because of her condition, Marita has been forced to find new and innovative ways to deal with the obstacles that everyday life presents her, especially when she’s experiencing a flare-up of symptoms. Marita’s condition is extremely severe. Her hands have been disfigured and she’s had to undergo multiple operations to correct her fingers and fuse their joints together in order to preserve the use of her hands. Because Marita already lives with such extreme challenges on a regular basis, she began to think about strategies for alleviating some of her arthritic symptoms in order to make her life a bit more manageable.
