My 32 year old sister was diagnosed with this a few months back. She had passed out and was taken to the hospital, they originally kept scanning her brain because she has epilepsy which hasn't affected her in a few years. Well then her body stiffened up and she wasn't able to really even get out of bed for a few weeks, her joints were all swallon and they were not able to give her an accurate diagnosis because they have to do that while the joints are flared up. Anyway, I know of some web sites and stuff to look up, but what I am wondering is if anyone personally is/was this young when diagnosed and how bad did it get. They say that since they caught when she was young that her joints may not get deformed like an elderly persons would.
comments, answers?!?!?!?

She gets pain once in awhile now and just a little swallon, but for now she has been fine for the most part!

I truly think I can help your sister avoid years of misdiagnosis and anquish. I was diagnosed with lupus and rhumatoid arthritis at the age of 31. I was crippled by the time I was 35, completely. When I was 40, things were really bad, and in desperation, I tried going on a natural diet. I discovered I was allergic to wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, and a few other things. When I eliminated them from my diet, I healed COMPLETELY, In the 3 years I have been on this diet, I have cheated 6 times, and all 6 times the crippling pain came back. Please tell your dear sister to get allergy testing done. You can read more about my recovery by joining the following yahoo group and reading the files section, with stories about recovery, food allergies, recipes, tips and ideas. I know many others who have healed following this same advice. I am CONVINCED that RA is nothing more than undiagnosed food allergy. Best of luck. Here is the link-email me if you need more info

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!
