re: Fighting RA The Natural Way

I have lived with RA for over 10 years now, the first 2 years were so painful and the side effects from the medications were almost as bad as the pain from RA and the medications were not reducing the pain very much, if at all, nor were they slowing the progression of the disease in any way. Through much trial and error, and alot of reading I discovered things I could do for myself that did make a difference and, over time was able to get off all meds and thought this was as good as I could be. I was living relatively pain free,the inflammation was gone but still had the odd flare when I went through a very stressful period. Then I discovered meditation and I was shocked by the results. Not only was I dealing with stress much better, but suddenly I was suffering from no flares. People even noticed the change in me, not right away, but over the course of 6 months many people commented on how relaxed I was......It was amazing. I now consider meditation as important in my life as breathing and I find that it's natural for me to do the breathing exercises anytime I feel stress, or when I'm in the sauna or during my 10 minutes using the D Light. All of the things I read about, that meditation were supposed to help with really did come true for me. My health is better, I deal with stress better, I even sleep better at night. I would recommend for everyone to try mediation, you might be as surprised as I have been. I love EFT as well because it's something one can use anytime, anywhere to relieve stress and this helps RA or any health issue. http://www.LivingWithRheumatoidArthritis.com
