I am a 42 year old wife and mother. I live with my husband in Salina, Kansas and during the day I take care of my grandbaby Shawn.

I began having chronic joint pain when I was a childhood and was diagnosed with “growing pains”. I suffered for years and quietly snuck whatever pain relief medication I could get ahold of. If I complained to my parents, I was accused of being overly dramatic or a hypochondriac. So I tried to deal with the pain on my own as well as I could until I got to college. I started my journey towards relief and answers there.

It wasn’t until somewhat recently though that I discovered Joint Advance. And now I can do things that I couldn’t even do as a teenager. I can play in the floor with my grandson and lift him without hurting. I feel like I have a brand new body and my hope is that this simple journal of mine will give other people faith that there is relief from joint pain out there for them as well.
