I can only imagine the pain people with this affliction go through. Thankfully I am not at that point yet. A poetic painful reminder that some are not as fortunate as others.

Chris..my son in law has it and he iis only 52! And it's not a disease of the elderly, I saw a girl 16' with it. Watch all you eat. There is an online site for Athritis, too. Cancer is more deadly. PR
