It's a drug that was originally developed to treat cancer. I'm on five different medications. One is for the pain, I think ones for the inflammation. It is hoped that with controlled inflammation and she works very hard on it that she'll get almost near full motion. I've tried not taking my medicine because I wanted to see what would happen and I wouldn't be able to walk.
Swimming is a great exercise for patients with arthritis.
It was something I was able to do and be good at. It was something I was able to challenge myself without it hurting and affecting my life in a big way, you know. And it made me feel good, because it helped my joints a lot. Even if I couldn't get around very much and it hurt, I'd do it anyway because I was motivated. . . My hope is to be able to have a really good career and be able to support myself and have a family and get horses and live out in the country.
