I'm 19 years old and have inflammatory arthritis. (my doctor has not wanted to diagnosis me with Rheumatoid arthritis because I do not show a rheumatoid factor, however I have all the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, my sister has RA and so he is treating it as RA). I have a 19 month old son. It's really hard, especially on the mornings where I'm afraid to pick him up out of his crib because I hurt so much and I don't want to drop him. My husband tries to help as much as he can but he just doesn't understand the pain I'm in day in and day out. As well, recently my doctor changed my medicine so I've been worse between pain and boughts of sickness because of the medicine.
Unfortunately I'm still kind of new to the entire thing, though I've had the inflammed joints most of my life I just recently have become much worse than I used to be. I want to have more children but one of my fears is that I'll have a girl and though I would love to have a girl it seems that diseases like RA and Fibromyalgia tend to happen to girls in my family line and not so much with the boys. If you ever want to talk my email is ____@____.com I wish I could give you tips but maybe it will help knowing that there are more of us out there.

Hi S.,
My aunt has RA(as well as diabetes and a history of high blood pressure.) She has been symptom free for numerous months- her own doctor is amazed. She revamped her nutrition- she now takes a few nutrition shakes a day. Email me if you would like me to give you more info about the nutrition she has found. Maybe it can help your body resolve you illnesses too.

S.,
Chronic pain in insufferable. I hope you find something that works for you. Maybe do a google of alternative medicine and RA. Good luck.

Hi S.,
Takes the thrill out of life and having a beautiful family when you don't feel good.
Well dear, my friend Ginger Shaeffer is a Neurolink specialist and has helped me immensely with connecting the body with the mind. She has healed many people and is fun to hang out with as well. She has healed Cancer, and other terminal maladies as well as she has healed vaginal infections......migraines,spinal misalignment,viruses, etc.
It is so simple it is amazing how it works.......her number is ###-###-####.
She is pretty busy but I already introduced you to her so she is awaiting your phone call. She works on a sliding scale and has people come from all over.......she also treats people that live far away.
May this be the miracle you are seeking,
M.
