I urge everyone at the first sign of anything wrong, seek help. So many diseases now can be put in remission, long before it gets bad. If you can't or won't do it for yourself...then think of those who love and need you. Early treatment is usually so much easier than the treatments later on. My husband was diagnosed with rhuematoid arthritis and since he caught it early on he is in remission. He still takes medication, but is able to do things, continue working and is pain free.
