No more pain

My knees have hurt since I was a young child.  I don't remember a time when my knees didn't hurt.  When I'd complain, Nmother would tell me that I was "too young to have sore knees" and that was that. I started doing a gluten-free diet about a year ago and my knees, hips, and hands were much better.  2 months ago. I started an anti-inflamatory diet and I feel amazingingly pain-free!  My hands don't hurt, my hips don't hurt, and I can kneel without pain!  This is sooooooo amazing - I'm loving it!  I'm also losing weight, which I love - but being pain-free is so new to me!  Why in the world wouldn't a parent listen to a child when s/he tells her that a part of her body is sore?  Honestly, whenever I'd sit down, I'd rub my knees - it didn't matter what I was doing - they were just always sore.  Now, I catch myself rubbing them and think, "Why am I doing this?  They don't hurt anymore!"  I just learned to live with the pain and just not think about it - but now that it's gone, I can walk, run, climb stairs, dance without pain!  It's like a miracle every single day!  And yesterday I noticed that I can turn my head without pain - yes, turn my head!!!  Without pain!  Life is good.
