“I’m a patient with significant rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. I presented to IPPMC in January this year. I wanted to die due to my chronic pain. I could not do anything. Previous to coming to IPPMC I had been seen by three separate rheumatologists, which they put me on biologicals that almost killed me. I have to admit I was a difficult patient. I was so afraid because I had been everywhere and no one had been helping me. I am allergic to multiple things which complicated my treatment. Since starting my treatments at IPPMC currently I can say I am 100% better and that has been six months. The last 5-10 years I felt like I was in bed most of the time due to the side effects from biologicals. I have been active around my home and doing very well , even my family and friends notice”.
