In our house we think Arthritis is a dragon that confuses Breanna's Soldiers (immune system) to attack her joints. The methotrexate goes in to help get the soldiers attention. Sometimes it makes us feel icky for a little while but once the soldiers stop and listen they all go after the Arthritis Dragon together. Sometimes we have to send in the Orange Monster (Ibuprofen) when that Arthritis Monster sets our joints on fire. It steps in and says, "Hey you Arthritis! Why don't you leave her alone and pick on someone your own size?" Breanna helps with the battle by eating good nutritious food so that the soldiers can eat and be strong. She gets plenty of rest so that the soldiers can gain strength. She also has to wash her hands and keep them out of her mouth and off her face. So that the little monster friends (germs) of the Dragon can't get in to try and beat the soldiers. She also get lots of exercise and drinks plenty of water so that she can be strong to help fight the Arthritis.
Pretty cheesy but we love to act out slaying the Dragon! It gets her up and moving when she wants to lay down and give in. That's why she is my Warrior.
I pray that all the Arthritis Warriors slay their Dragons.
