       Life Event: Originally shared on Patients Like Me
       By: lovelyluci Date: August 24, 2016, 1:23 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In 2002 I had a major car wreck that also gave me an out of body
       as well as a near death experience. Because of the impact of
       that car crash I had painful joint and body pains that just as
       it suddenly appeared would disappear. The accident must of
       triggered something. Such incidents made me think I was crazy at
       times but I knew I felt the pain and this could not all be just
       in my head. By 2008 I had many episodes: from difficulty
       driving, walking and much pain and inflammation. Even though I
       had no insurance coverage, my ex and I knew we had to find out
       what was wrong. My finger joints were swollen and I had to be
       assisted with daily usuals such as moving, walking, holding a
       cup to brushing my hair. After seeing a curandera, a doctor that
       could only practice in Mexico and could not help me anymore and
       a medical assistant at my University there was no choice but to
       see a specialist. Diagnosis unfortunately was Rheumatoid
       Arthritis. I had a disease, but to this day...I am a warrior
       because the disease does not have complete control of my life.
       Treatment and a calm life does wonders...at times may even seem
       like miracles.
       Sincerely
       Luc

       Oh, Luci, I'm so sorry that you are suffering with this and that
       you had to bear the pain for so long.  I hear that it is quite
       painful.  I hope you are receiving the help that you need.  A
       calm life does work wonders in our lives.
       Do you take Turmeric?  I take a capsule every night and it seems
       to help.  Here is a link you might want to look at.

       Oh man sorry to hear about all that pain you are going through
       Luci. And then the Rheumatoid. But hey you finished college
       under all that. You got up made breakfast for the family and
       pushed yourself out the door into a classroom were you sat
       patiently as some eggheaded professor yapped the good part of
       the day away and you paid attention and graduated.
       You aren't ill Luci. You have the mind of healthy vibrant
       individual and that's the thing that will keep you going on
       strong. Hell I fell off a bicycle once and cried for week
       thinking I was impotent. I didn't even go to work until I got my
       nutsack in order and I knew it was in order after getting horny
       over a Gilligan's Island episode watching Lovely dance or
       perhaps it was Ginger, my fear is it might of been Gilligan. Not
       sure now.

       "You have the mind of healthy vibrant individual and that's the
       thing that will keep you going on strong."
