Arthritis Digest  |  2023 Issue 6
Are you reading this late at night, using your sleepless hours to find out more about your health condition?
Insomnia can feel like a lonely experience, but the reality is that it affects around one-third of us here in the UK including crime writer Anna-Lou Weatherley (page 9). We’ve known for some time that sleep hormone melatonin, which plays a vital role in our body’s sleep-wake cycle, is made naturally in the brain. Also available via prescription here in the UK, it has now been discovered that melatonin may also reduce arthritis symptoms and bone-related disorders such as osteoporosis (page 22).
Not just for the sleepless among us, check out our fabulous festive items on page 5, hand-picked for people with arthritis. A faux fur extra-long hot water bottle or sumptuous lavender hand and body lotion could be just the thing.
Enjoy the issue!
