Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I am 51, and was diagnosed with RA. It wasn't a surprize. Iam afraid of the disease and afraid of the meds. So, I am not taking anything now. It happened very fast. It seems within a 2 to 3 year span, my hands totally changed. Sore, swollen, deformed, and me, well, devastated. Pain is constant. My feet hurt in the morning. My entire body upon waking in the morning feels like rigamortis has set in. Funny word to use maybe, but the truth. I am trying, (and I emphasize " trying " ) to cleanse my body of impurities through juicing, lots of friuts and veggies (organic of course)vitamin C with glucosamine. I hope that through healthier living, I can make all this go away! But obviously, writing this post shows that I have doubts. Can someone please tell me about the meds involved? I have heard awful things about them, but don't know what is true and what's not. In short, I need help. Thank you Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
