Introduction | At the tender age of four I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. My elementary years included a daily routine of wearing splints at night to support my hands and wrists, 120 degree paraffin baths with therapy each morning before school, and 16 - 20 aspirin a day. I failed fourth grade as a result of my JRA and that summer was put on my first dose of steroids to help control the pain. College was possible by state assisted vocational rehabilitation. I graduated from Vincennes and Indiana State University. I began my career in the automotive industry as a programmer of automated assembly equipment and moved into project engineering. I currently work as a process automation engineer in the pharmaceutical industry. In my lifetime I have had many surgeries for pain dating back to 1986. From 1992 to 2008 I had 9 surgeries, one arthroscopic and six elbow replacements, a cervical fusion and a total ankle replacement. I am exploring natural ways of fighting my inflammation since traditional medicine has run its course. There are 46 million American with arthritis. It’s time we get serious about this destructive disease. I hope you will join me in the fight. |
