For more than four years, Lynn Milam’s life was bound by the pain that radiated from her swollen joints.
“My children could not hug me,” she says. “I couldn’t hold my husband’s hand.”
Milam also couldn’t climb stairs or help raise her teenage son. She spent most days on the couch.
The reason was rheumatoid arthritis, which occurs when the immune system starts attacking the lining of joints.
