Oh man sorry to hear about all that pain you are going through Luci. And then the Rheumatoid. But hey you finished college under all that. You got up made breakfast for the family and pushed yourself out the door into a classroom were you sat patiently as some eggheaded professor yapped the good part of the day away and you paid attention and graduated.

You aren't ill Luci. You have the mind of healthy vibrant individual and that's the thing that will keep you going on strong. Hell I fell off a bicycle once and cried for week thinking I was impotent. I didn't even go to work until I got my nutsack in order and I knew it was in order after getting **** over a Gilligan's Island episode watching Lovely dance or perhaps it was Ginger, my fear is it might of been Gilligan. Not sure now.

Oh, Luci, I'm so sorry that you are suffering with this and that you had to bear the pain for so long.  I hear that it is quite painful.  I hope you are receiving the help that you need.  A calm life does work wonders in our lives. 

Do you take Turmeric?  I take a capsule every night and it seems to help.  Here is a link you might want to look at.

In 2002 I had a major car wreck that also gave me an out of body as well as a near death experience. Because of the impact of that car crash I had painful joint and body pains that just as it suddenly appeared would disappear. The accident must of triggered something. Such incidents made me think I was crazy at times but I knew I felt the pain and this could not all be just in my head. By 2008 I had many episodes: from difficulty driving, walking and much pain and inflammation. Even though I had no insurance coverage, my ex and I knew we had to find out what was wrong. My finger joints were swollen and I had to be assisted with daily usuals such as moving, walking, holding a cup to brushing my hair. After seeing a curandera, a doctor that could only practice in Mexico and could not help me anymore and a medical assistant at my University there was no choice but to see a specialist. Diagnosis unfortunately was Rheumatoid Arthritis. I had a disease, but to this day...I am a warrior because the disease does not have complete control of my life. Treatment and a calm life does wonders...at times may even seem like miracles.

Sincerely

Luc
