“Irreversible joint damage. Diagnosed at 17, I was bed-ridden in the beginning. Battling constant pain in every joint in my body. Unable to bathe or clothe myself, my mother had to take care of me & help with my daily routine. Rheumatoid Arthritis consumed my life.. Something as simple as opening up a jar or holding a pencil had seemed so difficult for me. My life slowly progressed upwards after my diagnosis Thanks to modern medicine, discovering a nutrition plan that worked for me, and a tailored exercise routine, I’ve been able to reduce my inflammation & minimize flare ups! Through my journey I became a certified yoga instructor & certified personal trainer. Follow @fit_nessa_v3 for yoga, exercise, and recipes for RA!
