If you have a rheumatic diseases that regularly or suddenly got of this sick, and this conditions is not missing after several times happen and happen again someday, you already have a chronic rheumatic diseases. Chronic means that patients health is affected by the illness, either intermittently or daily, over an extended and often indefinite period of time.

Many rheumatic diseases attack the muscle and joints, are chronic in nature. Like rheumatoid arthritis typically presents a daily challenge to those afflicted. You may someday feel better, but in the morning activities are frequently affected by stiffness and pain in the joints. Breakfast often includes a sprinkling of medications. Simple preparation for the daily, such as dressing, can sometimes require the assistance of a spouse.
The patient should be educated regarding the unique features of his or her particular illness, including instructions for how best to take medications and engage in day to day activities, with the possible help of disabled-parking passes, braces, aides for daily living, etc. Additionally, there are some basic coping tips that I review with my patients.

In reviewing the following coping measures, keep in mind that each patient is different and these methods need to be adapted to fit each patient's needs, depending on his or her own particular background and health status.
