Pain control

I have had RA for 8 1/2 years. The first year and a half was a nightmare. I was under a RA doctors care plus I was going to a RA consultant center. The medication did not work for me. I can't explain how bad I was. I wanted to die I was in such pain and swollen. I had heard about a treatment for RA in Mexico and decided what could I loose. That was 7 years ago and now I can cope. I am in charge. It is not a cure but it is amazing how it controls the pain. I have seen so many RA people helped. No steroids and no side effects. If anyone is interested you can e-mail me....sueh@digitex.net
