Since the spring 2002 I’ve had problems with pain in my joints and later it was stated that I suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. Initially the problems were not very serious. I had pain in my fingers and some pain in my knees. In the autumn the same year my problems got worse. It turned out that I suffered from an aggressive type of rheumatism. Soon I had pain in all my joints.<\/p>\n\n

I tried many different types of alternative medicine but I didn’t find anything that worked very well. An old friend from school suggested me to try Zhineng Qigong. I attended my first course in February 2003. During the course I could notice some alleviation of pain and afterwards I felt physically better. I continued to practice and I attended my first summer course 2004. A lot happened in my body and I also got an insight into how to better deal with my disease.<\/p>\n\n

Later I got a very good medicine, which made the disease much better. Still I had problems walking as my right knee was very ill and swollen. The knee was operated in September 2004 and afterwards I mostly lay in bed, feeling sorry for myself for having such pain. When I didn’t practice Qigong I could notice that I got worse and that my physical state of health went backwards.<\/p>\n\n

I began to practice again and immediately I felt better. During the summer course this year I have made a lot of progress. My energy level is higher, amy feet are better and I have less pain. Before, when I took my little walk for a kilometre, the pain made me stop three times. When I came home from the summer course and I went for a walk I noticed afterwards that something was different. I hadn’t stopped a single time! Now I can walk 2,5 kilometres without problems. A friend of mine who has seen me walking said: “But now you’re the one setting the pace!”<\/p>\n\n

The practice has alleviated the pain, made my movements better and, in general, improved my life quality. The training helps me handle my disease better. I can keep a distance and I feel mentally stronger. I think Qigong is the best rehabilitation you can get as a rheumatic. After the summer course I always have less pain for a while.<\/p>\n\n

I will keep on practicing Zhineng Qigong as the training makes me happy and improves my state of health.<\/p>\n\n
