I have been friends with my best friend for over 22 years now. Andy says we share a brain, which sometimes I think we do. Ever since I have known her, she has been afflicted with juvinille rhemotoid arthritis. They think she may have gotten it from a kidney infection when she was 2 or 3. Living in Wisconsin in the winter for all those years, really hurts her. Not only then, it also happens when she gets cold. I think growing up she would down a bottle of Bayer every couple of days for the pain, per doctors orders.

I remember one time when we were about 10 or 11 and she had come camping with my family. After a hot day of swimming, we were bored and decided to go minature golfing. My mom and cousin came to watch from the outside to cheer us on. Actually probably just to keep an eye on us, but in my young mind I didn’t like to be babied. Anyways, as we were playing, it started to get a little chilly. All of a sudden, she just froze. Her joints were so sore she couldn’t even walk anymore. My mom had to run and get my dad to carry her back to the camper.

The arthritis went away for awhile, sat dormant through most of her teen years, but once she turned 19, it came back. I love the fact she has never let the arthritis keep her down, she even walked in Walk America when it was really long like 12 miles. I walked with her and even though we were the last people and she had to be carried over the finish line, I have never been so proud. She bartends which probably doesn’t help her joints in her hands either. And the being a massage therapist also puts strains on her muscles. Winning a supply of Freeze It would really help her relax when she isn’t working.

There really is no cure for arthritis so I know she is always looking for something new to try to see if it works. I think she would find some use in Freeze It Gel. It sounds like it could help a little bit with the joint pain. She is very openminded and I think if it got rid of the pain for even a couple hours, she would try it. It would help with her sore muscles, her joint pain and back pain. I would love to take the pain away from her. She is a strong person though. I am proud to be her friend. Just look and see what Freeze it can do for you:
