My father

My father (48) who is the strongest man I know stopped working in October of 2025. The whole beginning of 2025 year he was the strongest he’d ever been. Strength training, hockey, doing all the running you could imagine. Then October came and ever since then he can barely walk. He’s been on prednisone, the steroids and whatever other medications the RA doctor prescribed him. The medication works sometimes but his flares work harder. I recently had to quit my job to stay at home and care for him. He has been falling, crying and constantly in pain. I’ve been making him anti-inflammatory meals, cbd massages, salt water baths. Anything you can think of I will do. I’m scared, he’s scared, my mother is scared. I hate this disease. I’ll take all the advice I can get. I pray for all who have to endure this pain. My heart goes out to all.
