If a new medicine was developed that could cure arthritis...

I will still release it and of course together with the potential risk associated. Actually there are so many medicines and even vaccines available today may have serious problem with certain people and yet they are still widely used because compared to the risk, they bring much better benefits. Put it this way, if you have a non-curable disease and I am telling you that I have developed a medicine that will give you 20% chance of complete cure while 80% of fatal. Do you want me to hide this information from you?

I had a friend who was crippled by rheumatoid arthritis & completely bedridden & paralyzed at the age of 35. He still had the ability to feel pain & emotions. His family gave up on taking care of him & put him in a nursing home where he lay in bed 24/7 in complete pain. In order to stop the problem with bedsores on top of the arthritis, nurses came in & turned him over 4 times a day. He could not even sit up in bed as his spine refused to bend. Most days his hands were so frozen he couldn't even use the remote control to change the channel on his television. This man was completely dependent on the kindness of others!!! As most of us have learned, others aren't always very kind. His friends were long gone. His family's visits grew less & less. No woman wanted the responsibility that went with him. He still had manly needs but no one willing to assist him with his problem. He would lay there crying begging to die. I wouldn't want one of my loved ones to die from having a reaction to one of the available meds. However, I wouldn't want one of my loved ones living the way this man had to live either!!! I pray that the medical field comes up with a test that allows us to know what we can or can't take!!! Every time we open our mouth to take any med, we're taking a chance of dying. Even something as simple as an aspirin can kill us!!!
