When Joy Fennell was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
back in 2008, the future looked bleak. The New York City-based
makeup artist was only in her early 30s, but she suddenly found
herself unable to lift her arms over her head or walk without a
cane, and the only solution doctors offered was an intensive and
side effect-laden drug regimen. After becoming nearly bedridden,
she decided to take her health into her own hands and find another,
drug-free, path to healing rheumatoid arthritis
naturally.
In this episode Joy talks about:
- her misdiagnosed carpal tunnel
- prescriptions for a Prednisone and Plaquenil and many other powerful drugs
- how obesity played into her disease
- how she avoided a double-knee replacement and neck surgery
- the role that Rolfing and chiropractic treatment have played in her recovery
- how her health coach friend helped her as well as a symptom-tracking app,
- why she believes it’s essential to take control of your own health destiny.
