Thank you. Wow! You have been through it. The science however says remisission, not cure. Im 75 and dont have the stamina I used to. Or even what had in May. Lol.
I' m now going to rant. Please ignore or forgive!
So far I'm getting no treatment other than the Cellebrex which felt like a bad trip.
I do bieve ageism is a big factor, so add real anger to how I'm experiencing all this.
Not all "seniors" sit around waiting to die.
But get inside a rhuematoligists head, and they' bored with us.
I had a whole new life planned that was both reasomable and feasible.
[My maternal grandmom lived to 101 and my paternal grandma to 98]
The resuatant that served the food contaminated with salmonnell took away my life.
Those whose oath bound to try to help return some it back.
But there' s
an experation date on that oath.
I'm 70 and my reactive arthritis (RA) has been in remission for 35 years, so maybe not a cure but it likely won't be back before I'm done. I started with aggressive early treatment because I wanted to lessen permanent damage, and my health with RA already sucked. One has to advocate for their own health, because doctors time and knowledge is limited.
