I so wish I did have control of my illness... I come back here all the time for support. I have four auto immune diseases. My joints are shot, had several spinal fusions, now need my ankles re-built to walk. too weak to do the surgery, and on pain killers. Well, I can say I manage, but I do need all the help I can get here. Taking suppliments for the first time. first auto immune problem was at the age of 29, kinda been down hill since then. Was in a trial study for 10 years up in columbia University med. center. This kind of beat my immune system into correct behavior. Problem may have started according to mayo clinic, from DDT in the blueberry fields in Michigan, or some ground contamination. Had epson Barr, very young at 9 years old. Many things were suggested never proved. Imbalance of T @ B tymphosytes. All the troops are called to fight and they forget where they are going. I am OK, doing alright with NT and my friends here. I also am not alone. I have a friend I live with who is wonderfully supportive. Friends are important to get you by when your own strength fails. You will also find friends right here...me! ginnie
Nan is my friends name and she is also my spell check most of the time when I am line, can't spell worth a dime.....
