Rose. Age: 68

Health issues: Osteoarthritis, Reynauds

When I was 50 years of age, I had an x-ray.  I was told I was leaning to one side.  My doctor told me it would affect my hip as I got older.  The hospital made innersoles for my shoes to balance me.  I found them impossible to use.

When I reached 60, I started aching around my back and my hip.  By the time I was 65 it got very painful around my lower back and hip.

I have also suffered with bad circulation all my life.  I hated the winter.  My hands would turn blue and could not feel them even in  the summer if it was chilly they would go white and get very painful.  Also when I woke up in the mornings my hands would be stiff.  I went to the hospital they said I had Reynauds disease plus osteoarthritis.

They wanted to put me on warfarin for circulation and told me they could not do anything for osteoarthritis, it was just wear and tear. They told me to take painkillers such as Ibuprofen. I have taken Ibuprofen in the past for my backache, it made my stomach bleed. So I just took paracetamol and I did not have warfarin I would rather persevere.

I struggled with loss of energy, hated going out in the cold, and body aches affecting my balance.

I thought if I keep myself fit and eat healthy as I have always done and join a gym I would improve. So I joined a gym it did help me but the pain in my back and hip was still there.

Then I heard about Ceragem from someone who goes regular.  I would like to be drug free so after reading the leaflets from Ceragem I was very impressed.

I went along to Ceragem the staff are very friendly.  At first  I expected for someone to tell me after a couple of goes that it would be a few hundred pounds to use.

I have been going every day for just over a month now, at first I found it very painful but I was determined to persevere. The staff assured me it would get less painful as I carried on and it has.

My circulation has improved greatly.  My hands are warmer they are not stiff when I wake. My back pain has gone my hip no longer aches.  Also my legs used to ache but no longer.  I also have lots more energy.  You get all this for FREE!

I am now looking forward to winter which is my worst time for my circulation.  I have told people in Ceragem and family and friends the difference it has made to me.  If you think positive and attend regularly it will work.

I plan to have my own Ceragem bed in the future.
