Nuskin

In the fall of 2007, I was stricken with Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune disease that attacks your joints. Joints become inflamed and swollen, leaving you helpless and in extreme pain.
I was prescribed Methotrexate and Prednisone. I was up to 7 Methotrexate (it is prescribed to treat some Cancers), each week and 15 mg of Prednisone (is a steroid), per day along with a couple other temporary drugs. Due to the severe side effects, I have to have blood tests done every 6 weeks to check for damage to other organs. My liver soon became a problem on a regular basis. I tried repeatedly to wean myself off the Prednisone and sometimes got down to only 2 mg per day, but the throbbing pain in my joints and stiffness to walk when I first awaken or had been sitting for a long time would return, so I would go back to 5 mg per day to keep the pain away.
So, just before you introduced me to Vitality, I had taken it upon myself to stop the Methotrexate. I seemed to have no adverse reactions from going without. However, knowing how dangerous long term use of the Prednisone was, it does wonders for the pain and did not see myself ever being able to do without it.
I took my normal dose of Prednisone on Friday, October 8th. I received my order of Vitality on that day also and took my first dose (6 first thing in the mornings) on Saturday, October 9th. I felt so energized I actually forgot to take any meds and didn’t even eat until that evening. I realized the next day, I had forgotten to take my Prednisone, but I would usually start experiencing the pain within 24 hours of not taking it. So, I felt so fabulous, I thought I would do an experiment and see how long I could go without the Prednisone.
You’ve probably guessed my now; I have been 10 days without it!!!! Will it last? I don’t know yet, but in the last 3 years, I have NEVER been able to go more than 24 hours without it. I did one day do some heavy work and that evening, my wrists were aching, but I took a couple of Ibuprophen before I went to bed and was fine the next morning. This is a medical miracle for me as I never imagined myself ever being able to avoid the pain without it. And with the energy I have now, I can move around a lot more and feel like doing more things. This has resulted in losing 4 lbs, which I desperately need to loose a lot more weight for health reasons.
And setting all that aside, I started the first 5 days, saying how “Good” I feel, but have changed it to how “Young” I feel. I feel like I did before I got RA, before I gained all this weight. Like I have never been sick! Thank you Nu Skin for bringing such a wonderful product to the table and Thank you Martha for sending me that email. I sincerely hope this will be everlasting and become an alternative to the millions of other people with RA.
