Living a life with Still’s Disease, a form of rheumatoid arthritis. Being sick for almost a decade, I’ve been through everything you can imagine comes with that. But, I’m happily married, have great faith in God and have amazing friends and family. And I wake up every morning.

I&#8217;m back.</p>http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/37522071074http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/37522071074Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:25:46 -0500still's diseaserheumatoid arthritisautoimmuneinvisible illness<p>Hey! So here’s your next decision. The common treatment for Still’s Disease and any serious form of rheumatoid arthritis is steroids, harsh medications & treatments that can have serious side effects to your body. I did injections (Enbrel, Kineret), I did various medications (Prednisone) and my best luck I’ve had so far is giving that all up and finding homeopathic treatments. I know - it sounds crazy but really research what you are putting in your body, what the treatments are and trust your instincts. Follow your heart, not your doctors order. You know your body better than anyone and if something doesn’t feel/sound right - you are more than likely correct.</p> <p>And if you don’t 100% believe your diagnosis is Still’s Disease - keep fighting till you find a diagnosis you believe in. I went years being misdiagnosed with lupus, MS, RND, fibromyalgia, etc. And now I fully 100% can say I believe in the diagnosis of Still’s Disease.</p> <p>Best of luck in your journey to a pain free life!</p>http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/33663301532http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/33663301532Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:33:32 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma5tlbMB0o1rbw99xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/31315880661http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/31315880661Mon, 10 Sep 2012 23:11:51 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma3rnp5kMo1rg6ilyo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/31315790699http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/31315790699Mon, 10 Sep 2012 23:10:25 -0400stills diseaserheumatoid arthritisinvisible illnessfind a cure<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltu6wpqLef1qj3lgko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/16726746030http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/16726746030Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:46:09 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvsf6xJ0k41r7h629o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/15650296414http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/15650296414Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:22:20 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwy8ei7QU61qc4uvwo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/15559252569http://faithhopepain.tumblr.com/post/15559252569Mon, 09 Jan 2012 02:55:11 -0500<p>I haven&#8217;t posted in a super long time!
