For the first time in 40 years, the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is on the rise, researchers at the Mayo Clinic say. An estimated 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with it. RA is a form of arthritis that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks the membrane lining your joints (often in the hands, wrists and feet), causing pain, swelling and stiffness. No one really knows what causes RA or how to cure it. Most people with the disease take a combination of medications. But just as pivotal in the treatment of RA are lifestyle changes you can make to also help reduce pain and slow, or even stop, joint damage. Here are a few simple strategies (some of which may surprise you):

A few folks have the feeling that filing their income tax returns after the normal due date is a problem. The IRS finally has extensions that are automatically approved. The late-filing penalties (up to 25 percent of the tax owed) do not apply if the return is filed before the extension expires. Getting an extension does not avoid the interest and failure to pay penalties on any tax owed. It is best to pay the tax or a little more when filing for the extension to avoid paying interest and the small failure to pay (about 6 percent a year) penalty.
