Recently Diagnosed w/ Reactive Arthritis
Posted , 10 users are following.
Recently, I have been diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis after having chlamydia. First was the left heel pain, then the mid spine pain, hip, left hip and wrist. I can manage to work and still do my daily activities normally, though I noticed my knee pain is getting progressively worse. I do have a family history of arthritis as my mother has Rheumatoid Arthritis. She's managed to enter remission and it's helping me become more hopeful. I am a 20yr old male who use to be extremely active in body building and working. I just feel as if I will never be the same way again. There are so many "what if's" and the overthinking is starting to take a toll on my health as well. I'm finding hard to sleep, be happy, or even want to get out of bed. Thank heaven that I am still eating normally. Though I know a change of diet would help, I have no idea where to behind. Here's my story. I look forward to hearing from you all. Thank you.

I have seen a Rheumatologist and he was able to give me an injection of Depo-Medrol, it's been about 6 days now and I see nor feel no different at all. I completely understand the pain and the mental torture that comes with it. I don't see an end either. But my mother did tell me about dieting and how it plays a major role in healing and treating arthritis. I am going to look into diets as well as doing yoga and swimming, those are two greatly benefiting exercises that not only help physically but help with the depression too. If I find any good diets or exercises I'll be sure to share them with you.
I read a story recently about a man who had reactive arthritis, he had a strict diet as well as exercised and took daily multivitamins and after some months he is now RA free for two years! That's given me hope!
