I woke up
one morning and literally just could not get out of bed. I
was in so much pain that I couldn't move at all and tears streamed down my face without me even crying. It was then that I
realised that my chronic inflammation might not be inflammation at all.
It didn't
happen overnight though. A year ago I had serious reconstructive surgery on my
hand after a mountain bike accident and it took six months' physio until
I was able to use my hand again, so pain was just an
everyday occurrence which didn't really bother me, since I have a
very high pain threshold.
