Members validated concerns about foot swelling, with many sharing that they experience similar symptoms including painful swelling in toes, arches, and other areas of the body, along with intense muscle spasms that can make walking nearly impossible. Several members described spasms as feeling like muscles tensing up with vibrating sensations, sometimes accompanied by sharp electric-like pain, lasting anywhere from a few minutes to much longer, with practical relief found through medications like Baclofen, hot showers, massage, and ibuprofen. A recurring theme was the belief that the disease affects the body more extensively than officially acknowledged, causing widespread pain, stiffness, and swelling, with community members offering both spiritual encouragement through prayer and practical solidarity in shared suffering.

I HAVE been dealing with swellung along time. I think IT IS one OF thw effects. Of this disease. I think it affects more than they say it does. I think it can ravage your body with pain, stiffness , and yes swelling because why do they say it is similar to RA. I believe it really affects everything.because it is very destructed. So I am staying yes. But they don't say anything about swelling but I think it does.β€πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

We should all come together in prayer πŸ™ each and every day so that God can work it out for us! If anyone can remember we have a throne in our flesh, that we must carry to remind us that God is always with us. That is why we should be persistent and show perseverance when we pray!
