| arthritis and allergies... life stinks So I went to the doctor this morning and he says I have arthritis in both of my knees. Okay... I'm 20. I have at least 50 more years of pain and agony. On top of that, the weather that keeps changing is causing my allergies to act up and my head is all sorts of stuffy. Life stinks right now... but that's okay because I got my puppies to give me kisses! Puppy kisses make everything all better!

| That is so young, you poor thing! On the positive side if there aren't any options now, surely there will be eventually. Medicine seems to advance so fast.

YT 2000 Club Member | I am so sorry to hear this, it's hard finding out you have any illness at any age, but it seems like it's worse hearing the age of someone so young. I have a son who was born with a Primary Immune Deficiency and one of the side effects from it is Juvenal Rheumatoid Arthritis, He developed it at age 2 years with it effecting his knees, hips, fingers and shoulders. At first we could only treat him with prescription liquid Naperson. Now that he is 13 he voices when he he is having trouble and pain better then when he was a baby so they are able to treat him with other meds and they seem to help him be comfortable. Its sad to see a kid not able to pick up a fork or pencle because his fingers are so swollen they look like a Ball Park Frank cooked up! You are lucky that allot of research has been done and their is allot of options in treatments out their. It sucks when one is young and has to face living the rest of your life with some illness

Particularly for those with allergies, daily use will bring tremendous relief. I no longer get my bi-weekly allergy shots. I've been using the Neti Pot daily for 5 years now!!!!!!

| Honey, I feel so bad for you. I have had 2 orthoscopic surgeries and after 2 different series of injections finally had both knees replaced about 6 months ago....but I'm 60 not 20. I certainly hope you get some relief....in both areas.
