Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Dear AP group, I've been monitoring this group for many years. I've watched many of you suffer while you have tried all sorts of different concoctions without significant improvement I was diagnosed with RA over 30 years ago. I tried conventional therapy first with only moderate gains in pain managment but the crippling continued. Eventually, the anti-inflammatory drugs and prednisone caused some serious and life threatening symptoms. The most serious was vascular disease which in turn caused pulmanary emboli, hematoma, and stroke. For some time now I have lived in a considerably diminished capacity, and on a very modest Social Security pension. I have been home (the place where I grew up) taking care of my aging parents while my wife of 38 years is going on with her life in my absence. While we've been apart, I've noticed a considerable improvement in my physical and mental condition. I no longer have a need for blood pressure meds nor anti-depressants. I still take an anti-coagulant but I've noticed a diminished need for those too. What I'd like to suggest is that you take a very close look into your personal life to see if that might be one of the causes for your illness.
