Colitis 10 - 4 Arthritis
The reason for the football type score layout is a little illustration of how I've scored my improvements for colitis and/against arthritis.
Once upon a time I had colitis.
Over time I cured colitis.
Recently I noticed to my surprise and disappointment that I had begun to develop arthritis in my fingers - very painful.
I feared the worst.
The idea of an increasing arthritis condition eventually seizing up my fingers and subjecting me to bouts of blinding pain was not an entertaining image for the future.
But...
I was aware of an important fact: All of the 'itis's' are the condition of inflammation - colitis and arthritis being two such conditions.
I had beaten colitis, but why had my bio-system manifested arthritis when it had rid itself of the longstanding distressing condition of colitis? I went over all of the things that I had done to eliminate colitis.
What was causing the arthritis? My one weakness had always been strong sweet black coffee.
Years ago I had confined my secret pleasure to one tiny espresso cup a week, but the inevitable developed.
Over months the '1 a week' had finished up to at least '4 A DAY'.
OK for a while, but gradually, the painful red bumps on my finger joints had begun to cause all kinds of practical problems.
I dreaded the thought of being crippled with arthritis as I had known in some unfortunate relatives and friends.
I had to identify the cause and rectify it as I had done with colitis.
Suspecting the coffee/sugar as a possible culprit I cut them out altogether for a month.
Guess what? Well, let's just say I'd be happy to learn to play piano today.
The condition seems to be in decline by the day.
A Colitis 10 is a great result but the Arthritis is a 4 which is better than the -2 home goals of a few months ago.
Naturally I was quite satisfied with myself that I had without drugs or medication cleared myself of colitis and dramatically reduced arthritis.
That's a good score in my book.
