My Amazing Mother – “The Arthritis Lady”From
age of 11 to age 53 my mother avoided holding hands; they were painful to touch, so puffed up, sore and hot!!!
Raising four children she, of course, had to hold our hands. She tried so hard not to let us know how painful it was but, we knew she was in constant pain.
I always felt bad for my Mom and Dad because holding hands was something they missed. It was hard for her to knit or crochet, which she loved to do.
Walking, bending or standing for any period of time was so painful for her. We learned as small children, my brothers and I, to do what ever we could to help around house.
She went to over thirteen “Arthritis” specialists, which were of little or no help.
She was prescribed many different drugs and went through all kinds of treatments for her arthritis.
She was in so much pain that she tried anything and everything to find relief.
She was so desperate to find something that would stop her pain that she: ·Went to over 13 physicians, (“Arthritis Specialists”) ·She took Codeine, Darvon, Sprays and "Gold Treatments" ·She was placed in traction with a large weight to stretch her body, was tied to bed and couldn't move for a week! ·She was put in an upper body cast for 3 months ·She wore shoe lifts ·And so much more!!!
In 1980, last year she suffered from Arthritis, my Mom spent an average of $40.00 month on miscellaneous drugs, $30.00 for a monthly doctor appointment and $30.00 on pain killers. That’s a total of $100.00 a month. I wish she could have spent that money on something she liked to do instead.
All drugs, all doctors, all treatments, all money... ALL FAILURES!!!
Doctor after doctor told her that there was no cure for arthritis and that she should, “Take this medication, go home and learn to live with it”. One doctor predicted that she would be in a wheel chair within 5 years.
We were crushed… My Mom, being eternal optimist, never gave up… She went on a crusade to find a way to stop her arthritis. And she did!!!
She spent many years researching arthritis, and put together this incredible program, “I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too”, that shows you in easy to follow steps how you can do what she did at home, and without drugs.
I know this may sound too good to be true. But she did it... My Mom has gone through what you are going through right now. She has now been living Pain Free from Arthritis for 25 years.
My Mom, Margie Garrison, is known on World Wide Web (and elsewhere) as “The Arthritis Lady” and is now doing something she “likes” to do. She spends most of her time answering thousands of emails and phone calls from people who suffer with arthritis. She answers questions and helps solve problems.
