Harrison;

I just found out that i have rheumatoid arthritis. It started about 3 months ago. I know it has to do with the meningitis that i had twice within 3 years and with the 3 annular tears from L3-S1. There is always some kind of Bug(virus) that we seem to get no matter how much we take care of our body's.
I don't drink,smoke,or do drugs,don't even take any narcotics of any kind for my pain. I was involved in sports and weightlifting for most of my life and ate healthy foods.
It seems to me that the more healthy you are the more problems you acquire as you get older.
One thing that i noticed is i have not had a cold in several years where as before i would get one, once a year. I'm 38 yrs old and wonder what else i will get before i'm 40. Of course there are other viruses that i have caught and don't know how i got them. We just don't what is out there until we get sick.
