Hello to the long timers

[Guest guest]

I have not posted in probably eight years but was quite active ten and

eleven years ago when I first contracted RA. GOD bless for

continuing to maintain this website, and Ethel too for her

participation. This website was a Godsend in helping me to find the Dr

Brown books and the antibiotic protocol. I am a firm believer in and

advocate of the AP.

I'm doing just fine, never cured but mostly in remission until I

forget to take my antibiotics for months at a time. Then the pain and

stiffness return and my wife asks, " How long since you last took the

antibiotics? "

My personal experience is I'm never 100% the way I was health and

painwise before getting RA. You have to adjust your activities

permanently to avoid too much activity that stresses the joints. With

moderate activity I live a normal life for someone seventy years old.

I work a two days a week and walk in the mall three times a week for

30 to 45 minutes and the only negative is foot stiffness and slight

pain immediately afterward. The all night panging arm, shoulder, or

leg pains that kept you awake have been gone for years. Also gone are

the two to four days when an arm or leg pained too badly to move or

just did not want to move. Life is good.

I'll gladly answer any questions from anyone.

Better health, Al
