When Louise Roberts was 18, she began to feel pain in her joints. Six months she was in so much pain that it was like walking on the glass. Just pulling up a zip brought tears to her eyes. The worst thing was that she was too weak to play the violin. She had been playing since the age of 7 and had planned to become a professional. Louise`s doctor told her she had arthritis, a condition that makes the joints become painful. Louise was forced to stop playing the violin.A year after the diagnosis she went to university to do teacher training. It was upsetting for Louise to listen to other students playing the violin, knowing that she couldn`t play her violin. She asked her mother to sell it, but her mother wouldn`t.Teacher training was tough. Standing for long periods made her knees and feet ache. There were times when she felt she couldn`t cope with it.

Her fingers are still stiff at that hour of the morning, and she misses lots of notes, but the children don`t seem to mind.After four years away from her violin Louise has just started teaching a ten-year-old boy to play. Louise`s condition improved, partly because of the drugs, but also because she has changed her diet completely. She has cut out all wheat dairy products, beef and pork. Even so, her energy is limited, and there are times when she is so tired that she has to stay in bed all weekend. She envies healthy people sometimes. On the plus side however, she is more determined than most to get the best from life.

I then wrote to my aunt, who had friends in the company. She wanted me to become captain of a river team boat. I got my appointment, of course. And I got it very quickly. It appeared that the company had received news that one of their captains had been killed by natives.The incident concerned a disagreement over two hens.
