        The responses on here are ridiculous.. rheumatoid arthritis is an extremely challenging autoimmune disease that causes the joints of the body to deform completely, may cause physical disabilities and has no real cure

        It requires the use of methotrexate (chemotherapy) to control its symptoms from increasing, so everyone else decides it's okay to judge him for finding relief in a natural alternative?

        No actual pain medication is designed to control the pain of RA, and long term use of steroids can cause more complications; all the people criticizing don't even know the pain of feeling you joints moving from their place slowly over the years, feeling pain none stop

        Really? I was 27 when I got diagnosed with a rare form of Lupus HUV. My doc said only 250 cases in the US. I've lost my home, my carear, the Peace Corp, my memories, my lungs and my teeth from it. Not to mention 4 years and induced coma. Oh and 60 k in debt. Yeah his life's hard.

        It is not a competition. My life has been hard, but I can still feel empathy for other people who have 'a lesser' issue in their lives, but whom nonetheless do suffer. Severe chronic pain is difficult to live with and is debilitating.

        Yeah my frustration was pointed at the Times not the person. I didn't say I have a problem with him or his disease. However if a human interest piece is yo be done, I think they can find a better candidate. I'm sorry you didn't realize my intent when writing the tweet.

        I see what you mean, but I do think it is important that advocacy for improved health services reflect both rare and more common chronic health conditions in the community.

        CFS is Hell. And there are a lot of people who don't manage to get out and live life with it, no matter how determined. At a certain point, CFS obliterates determination. It's Hell. But I'm glad this guy is finding his way.

        Pains, aches and fatigue? Sounds like a perfect excuse to get amphetamines and opioids prescribed by a physician. I also want this sort of struggle! LOL

        My son doesn't have RA, he has severe ankylosing spondylitis and Psoratic arthritis causing kyphoscoliosis, fibrosis to heart and lungs. He has severe pain and has tried to take his life to escape the pain. Autoimmune diseases cause disability and suffering for many world wide.
