About *Patt*
Expertise
i know a lot about this disease having it in my family from grandmothers, mother to sisters and children.

Experience
I have lived with this disease for some twenty five years. I can offer help in dealing with this, how to know you might have it or be getting it and why. I know the pain involved, the crippliing effect and can offer suggestions for relief. I will not medicate nor talk about what you should be taking, this is for your docter. I can however follow up with you on why and what works.
