On August 17th 2001, i was a robust 36 YOA male, in fantastic shape, with basically no medical problems except
high blood pressure and high cholesterol. On August 18th, every joint in my hands felt like they were sore to the touch, almost like i had completed a hard work out the day before. By the evening, it had spread to my feet and knees, lower back, wrists, elbows, almost every joint. I was in so much pain the sheets on the bed hurt.
