Thank you Cheryl and Paulina. You ladies have been such a great source of inspiration for me. I was diagnosed in 2015 but never took prescribed medication or ever saw rheumatology again because Doctor said she was leaving the practice😔 I had minimal symptoms (joint swelling here and there which lasted 2-3 days until 2022 when I could not walk due to horrific bilateral knee pain. I couldn't even take care of activities of daily living after dental surgery September 2022. The primary care physician gave me every pain medication he could yet I could not get any relief. I was desperate, even threatened to hurt myself if he didn't help. He prescribed Prednisone. It was amazing - I got relief right away. He said you have RA. I didn't believe him. He sent me to Rheumatology. Now on hydroxychloroquine, Methotrexate and Humira. I so value what you do. May you continue to live happy symptom free lives.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am also wishing you a happy, symptom free life, or a life where your symptoms don't interfere with your enjoyment of life!
@ArthritisLife so far no flare up. I used fresh tumeric/ ginger and cinnamon bark tea 3 times a week..and moringa leaves tea ...and apply castor oil and coconut oil
