Pills Be Gone

For over a year, I’ve been taking T’ai Chi Chih classes with an admirable and dedicated teacher who has taught me a gentle, calming mix of meditation and movement. I was diagnosed 43 years ago with an autoimmune disease called Lupus. But now with a daily regimen of TCC, I have less stress in my joints and muscles; I have less soreness because of improved joint flexibility. In fact, my rheumatologist has gradually reduced my medicine, Methotreate, so much that I’m no longer taking it. TCC has helped improve my balance and reduced the risk of falling; I’m more stable in my feet.

My rheumotologist also diagnosed me with osteoporosis. (I fell and fractured my lower back 17 years ago.) Since taking TCC, my bone density numbers have improved; my doctor has taken me off Fosomax and stopped my water pill, Furosemide. In short, TCC has been a blessing. I’m so filled and fulfilled with all its benefits.
