Polymyalgia rheumatica

I have been suffering from Polymyalgia  rheumatica since 2007 and am living in England at present.  I was put on a 2 year course of steroids and subsequently put on over 20 kgs in weight which has not helped my condition with the soreness of the knees.  I arrived in South Africa having had to have wheelchair assistance as I was not capable of walking 10 meters at a time.  My mother had been to Dr. Ray Rethman and pre booked my appointments knowing that I would be here for only a week.  After the first treatment I could not believe how I could suddenly walk without pain.  I have now had three treatments and am now able to run.   I will be leaving and have cancelled my wheelchair assistance as I am now capable of walking without pain.
