Slightly over two years ago I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I had a pretty fast escalating case of it. I was hit in about every joint on both extremities, including hip joints. I was quickly started on many medicines (13) to combat this disease and besides high doses of steroids one of them was chemo. I was put on methotrexate and although this can be a common treatment for many with RA who have very little side effects from it, I was affected greatly at the doses I was required to take to treat the severity of disease. When I started chemo I took it weekly and the first two doses were oral. That was a tremendous mistake for me. My intestines swelled to the point I ruptured my abdominal wall. I was not well enough to undergo surgery. I took chemo and multiple other drugs to treat the RA after a year and a half and incredible searching on my part I found healing, and it was a miraculous healing occurring suddenly and enabling me to come off all my meds immediately. That was 8 months ago. Just as I found healing for the RA I applied all the same things to this abdominal hernia and thyroid disease. So far I have not experienced healing for the hernia or thyroid. As of late I find it difficult to eat or drink anything, it just became time to surgically deal with the hernia. I'm also having a tummy tuck procedure with the hernia repair. I will have my entire abdominal wall reconstructed. For all those curious I will be posting photos, yes before and after. If you find those kinds of things gruesome don't look. I'm giving you fair warning at the onset. My surgery date is June 12th. Right around the corner...
