About the author
Henry Scammell
13 books5 followersA self described slow starter who was raised in Massachusetts, Henry Scammell applied to Harvard College in 1951, and flunked out before completing his first term. He spent the next several years employed as a cook in the merchant marine; a ticket agent for Pan Am at Idlewild; a credit investigator for Household Finance; and traveling the world.
Returning to Harvard as a freshman in 1958, he graduated two years later with a bachelor's degree magna cum laude and the Bell Prize for contributing to the understanding of American literature. He later received a diploma from the International Marketing Institute at Harvard Business School. He spent five years with the consulting firm A.D. Little, then freelanced as a business writer for several years before starting Scammell Associates, a high-tech advertising agency in Boston.
In 1982 he became a full-time writer and moved to East Orleans where he indulged his love of clamming, fishing and berry picking. Scammell served on the steering committee of the Arthritis Institute of the National Hospital and was co- founder of "The Road Back" Foundation.
His 12 books, often collaborations, were published in several languages. He also wrote more than 500 magazine and newspaper articles.

As I read along, I realized how much of this is my story, and what I hope to be my ending and cure like the others in the book. It wasn't easy, but my doc got on board and started my minocycline tx a month ago. My husband noted today that last week was my best whole week in a very long time. Hoping my story becomes a similar one of success!

This is a very valuable book for anyone who has arthritis. I got my copy at Borders long ago. Its so sad they went out of business.

Minocycline worked very well for me but I made the mistake of stopping the Methotrexate completely and am now back on. But still taking the minocycline.
