DOC IV

I've been diagnosed with reactive arthritis. Accordingly to the specialist, this is caused by my recurrent UTI. The body immune system is now reacting in the presence of bacteria and therefore causing swelling & inflammation of my joints. Fortunately, this condition is chronic and can be treated. Though it scares me when I read that some patients take up to 6 months to recover.

I really hope that I will take under 6 months to be up and running.
Now even climbing up & down the stairs seem to be like conquering Mount Everest. Some days, I can't even feel my limbs and am suffering with pain.
