rheumatoid arthritis
"I have been living with 4 swollen fingers on my right hand (my dominant hand) and have trouble sleeping with pain in both hips and shoulders.  At 49 I feel far too young for arthritis, but sometimes life is not fair.  Dr prescribed Arthrotec yesterday.  2 pills in and I can hold a pen, type and slept like a baby last night!  I'll take the queasy stomach and gas if it means I'm not cranky because of poor sleep and constant pain!"
