There was a huge amount of groundbreaking research and news to choose from.  So I have grouped my choices into categories, rather than a standard top ten list.  These are my choices, including the ones I think are the most exciting, the hottest topics, or the most thought provoking.  ...

    When I was 21 I was diagnosed with R.A.  I am now 32 and my R.A. was extremly painful and crippling, I had a hard time getting out of bed, walking and even lifting, I came to accept my illness and live inside an old womens body.  I had tried all kinds of meds, myths ect.  Nothing really made me feel good because if it wasn't the pain from R.A. it was the pain the meds made me feel.

    Through the years my mom would order things for me to try and one day she called and said "I have it" "the cure"  I listened and wrote down what she had told me and put it on the back burner.  A few months later I was in extreme pain and my mom asked if I was taking what she had told me, of course no.  I couldn't find it with in to go out and buy more stuff that wouldn't work.

    Well I finally did and it has been a blessing, I finally feel like I should and my inflammation doesn't exist.  For the first time in at least 3 years I can raise my arms above my head.

    This is what I take:

    1-Daily Multi Vitamin

    1-Fish Oil Capsule

    3-Vitamin C @ 500mg

    5-Vitamin E

    1-Glucosamine/Chondroitin Sulfate

    1-MSM

    1-Garlic pill

     

    I take this daily at the same time, I tried to take it all in the morning but night time is better because you will burp fish oil and taste garlic.  It works for me and has others.  Good luck!

    Thanks for your wonderful blog - I am enjoying getting to know it.  As I learn more and more about my disease, Psoriatic Arthritis (which in my blog I refer to as the ugly stepsister of Rheumatoid Arthritis) I do wonder how likely it is that these two diseases are actually even more closely linked than scientists currently suspect.  Many of the articles above are interesting for PsA as well. 

     

    Keep up the good work - come visit me sometime!

    Thank you so much Jenny, I appreciate your comments and I will check out your blog as well.  I think that the various rheumatic diseases and the other autoimmune disorders are very closely linked.  Everytime I read about new genetic research it amazes me how just a few minute differences in gene expression and genetic triggers can have such an effect on people.

     

    Take care,
