Last week my attention was drawn to a little-known study from the University of Washington School of Medicine, which found that heavy use of arthritis drugs can seriously increase your risk of dementia. Researchers followed nearly 3000 dementia-free people aged 65 and older for up to 12 years, during which time 476 developed dementia. Those who were "heavy" NSAID users (the equivalent of approximately six Advil per day) were 66% more likely to develop dementia, and 57% more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease in particular. News like this makes me boiling mad, especially as arthritis sufferers are not being told about the dozens of safer alternative treatments that are just as effective as pharmaceutical drugs. Your Doctor wont prescribe the alternatives for you, even though they have little or no side effects, unlike pharmaceutical drugs.
