I JUST READ ABOUTYOU CATHY. MY DAUGHTER HAS RA AND IS HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. SHE IS ON METHO, EMBREL, PREDIZONE AND NOTHING IS HELPING. SHE IS IN HER LAST YEAR OF COLLEGE AND VERY DISCOURAGED. I WOULD LOVE FOR HER TO BE MEDICINE FREE. MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN WITH IT. WE FOUND OUT WHEN SHE WAS IN KINDERGARTEN. I AM GLAD THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE WITH RA IS DOING SO WELL. I AM GOING TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER READ ABOUT YOU. IHOPE YOU CONTINUE TO DO SO WELL.

Cathy, thank you for sharing your story. I think its great that you are medication free and able to enjoy your life so fully in spite of RA. Thanks again!

Your profile is lovely. Since you like the natural approach … Another thing that I recently discovered is iodine — my doc had recommended it as a way to ease inflammation and I discovered I was very deficient — it seems to help – it comes in drop form as a supplement and is sourced from kelp. You can test yourself by applying topical iodine and seeing how long the color stain stays if it goes away quickly it is a sign of deficiency (4 hours or less).

And Cathy is just a wonderful in real life as she is online! I think she is the first person with RA that I have ever met that feels peace with her RA.

She really inspires me…
