My Life as a Guinea Pig
Arthritis and Cannabis. My name is John Doe ( used to protect my family). I am 36 years old and I live in South Carolina. At the age of 6, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis that affects every joint in my body. There is no cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis. My entire life, I have basically been a Guinea pig for doctors and the pharmaceutical industry. Arthritis causes my immune system to attack my joints, causing pain, swelling and joint deterioration. Rheumatoid arthritis is also a disease of ups and downs.
