When I have this kind of arthritis, my white blood cells get a wrong message and they attacked the good blood cells that caused the pain. It’s really change my life in many various. I become very limited with physical activities what I can do. Today you could be pain-free and when you wake up tomorrow morning you could have frozen shoulder or stiff-necked or stiff leg. It could be anywhere.
My first thing I do every morning as soon as I wake up, I start to go for a walk. I’ve walked everyday two miles then when I come home I do some physical exercises with physical therapist that have given me. For example stretching my legs and stretching my arms. I start doing exercise five or six years ago. Before I started doing exercise I felt I would say very stiff. I had like limited movements onset. I couldn’t run, I couldn’t do many things, I couldn’t even walk two blocks, I felt very tired. Those days I felt like I’m overweight. I felt I’m depressed. I wasn’t happy with myself.
Once I start doing exercise I felt great. I'm beginning to think in a different way. I start to lose weight. I feel both comfortable with myself. I realize even with arthritis there are so many things I can do instead of neglecting myself and think about what I have. My life changed in many ways and now I spend more time with my kids and mentally fight I have a new set of twins. I spend more time with them. I play with them.
This is my body and I’m responsible for my happiness and everyday even if I go for my walk that’s the first thing I say, “Thanks God, I can walk today and I want to make the best out of my life.” I do not think it more, I have something arthritis or anything. I just think like I’m a normal person.
