Mentally, emotionally and physically I was a complete wreck! I just wanted to die! I could not cope with so much pain – each level of pain was affecting the other. Once the physical pain from the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) was lifted (thanks to HRU) I could begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Time is a healer, they say, but you also need a catalyst and for me, that catalyst was the HRU.
