So I went and visited a doctor and he diagnosed me with reactive arthritis.

Reactive arthritis is something I've been dealing with for nearly a year.

I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees.

I confidently affirm that the greater part of those who are supposed to have died of gout, have died of the medicine rather than the disease - a statement in which I am supported by observation.

For many years my inherited arthritis had given me problems.

Extreme remedies are very appropriate for extreme diseases.

For humble individuals like myself, there is one poor comfort, which is this, viz. that gout, unlike any other disease, kills more rich men than poor, more wise men than simple.

I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain.

My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. I don't want to lose the ability to jump up and walk across the room or move around with the energy I'm used to having. That's far more important to me than a wrinkle or two.

The remedy is worse than the disease.
