Introduction

Men's Health

Men with arthritis face some unique obstacles, obstacles that other men don't have to deal with. Obviously there are the physical issues-the pain, the limitations, but there are also several emotional issues to struggle with. Arthritis can impact your sexuality, relationships and self-esteem. It causes other health concerns. 

As a man with arthritis you may be more apt to ignore other health issues. How many times have you blamed a new symptom on arthritis and ignored it? It's very important that you are aware of the common health problems that can affect men. You need to report these signs and symptoms right away. Having arthritis doesn't prevent you from having other health problems!

We'll talk about some of the problems you face and discuss general men's health issues this week, so make sure you check in daily!

And I would like to thank the THREE, yes only THREE, men that responded to our men's health survey. Somehow I expected a low turn out...that's a guy for you...us women will put you men to shame next week!

Don't forget to join us tonight (July 31tst) at 9:30pm Eastern time in the Chatroom as Walt Hanks stops in for a Men Only Chat.
