These Mittens Can Help Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms

The debilitating effects of rheumatoid arthritis are often overlooked. While the outward symptoms of the disease may not be apparent at first glance, they can prevent individuals from participating in the tasks of their daily lives. Marita, for example, had difficulty driving in the winter before developing her Phalang-Ease Mittens. Without the ability to drive, individuals are severely limited in what they’re able to accomplish. Strategies for helping individuals suffering from chronic conditions overcome disability are still developing at this point. Inventions such as Marita’s mittens represent a great step towards normalizing tools that could be invaluable for maintaining a normal life.

Marita hopes to see her mittens gain popularity and take off. While the mittens may cater to a fairly specific audience, they could be useful across a wider spectrum of buyers. At this point, Marita’s two adult sons have taken over her business as her rheumatoid arthritis has presented her with some more severe symptoms revolving around her lungs. Although she’s taken a backseat at the moment, Marita is still optimistic that the Phaleng-Ease Mittens and other future products like it will help make life more manageable for individuals suffering from chronic conditions.
