a picture that paints ly000 words
Many people have asked us how we get our news. The answer
is simple—they come from you and the only way we can cover it is
if you call.
Someone wDl call and tell us about an 11-year-old boy who has
a rare disease and could really use the help of neighbors and fellow
citizens. Someone else will call and tell us about finding their bio-
logical parents (and 16 biological siblings) and urge us to write their
story so that others may learn. Still others will call just for a picture
to be taken— maybe of a tiny leukemia victim who is fighting
hard— that says much more than a story ever could.
We don’t ever want to overlook a person or a project that truly
deserves a boost or some publicity. We may not be able to dedicate
half a page to it, but we’ll do the best we can. But don’t sit around
and wait for someone else to call us because someone else may not.
Instead, drop a letter in the mail or give us a call at the offices and
let us know what’s on your mind. The address for the Burleson Star
is P.O. Drawer 909, 319 N.W. Burleson Blvd., Burleson, Texas
76028 or call 295-0486 between 8:30a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Address your letters and comments to the editor.
TTIor .37 million Americans afflicted
T1 with arthritis, even simple activ-
ities like chopping and mixing can
cause pain and frustration. But
today,, physicians have found that
slight changes in everyday routines
and arthritis treatments can make
it possible for many people to enjoy
activities they once avoided.
The first step is finding the right
medication. Jane Holiis, 64, has
had arthritis for 16 years. She tried
nine different medications before
finding one that controlled all of her
symptoms. Now she takes Vol-
taren*1 (diclofenac sodium), the
world’s most prescribed NSAID
(nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drug) introduced to the U.S. in 1988.
"Medication that provides signif-
icant benefits with acceptable side
effects is the key for people with
arthritis,” says Joel Hirschberg,
M.D., Medical Director of The Ar-
thritis Education Program at Ei-
senhower Memorial Hospital, Kan
cho Mirage, California.
In addition to medication, Ms.
Hollis has responded well to a treat
ment regimen of exercise and joint
protection practices designed spe-
cifically for her active lifestyle.
She recommends the following
handy hints fpr making kitchen
activity less stressful on joint tis-
sue:
• Beat mixtures with a whisk in-
stead of a spoon. A whisk is easier
to manipulate because it offers
less resistance;
• Fish is easier to cut if it is slightly
frozen. This may be accom-
plished by putting it in the
freezer for about 20 minutes;
• Use both hands to lift heavy pots
and pan%, Buy pots with two
handles;
• Put a wet towel under the corners
of a cutting hoard to keep it from
slipping.
Voltaren, like other prescription
drugs, may have side effects. As
with other NSAIDs, the most fre-
quent effects relate to the gastroin-
testinal tract. Patients should con-
sult a physician regarding the pro-
per use of this medication, and to
design a full program of arthritis
treatment.
