Hello all.thought this would be the best place to post as i consider myself to be a "young person"

im kim,24 and i have had stills disease-chronic rehmatoid arthritis from the age of 9 with no other family members suffering from it.I have a 18month old daughter-arthritis free so far-and i have had 2 hip resurfacments at the age of 14 and 17.

Im desperate to meet other younger people like myself to talk about my arthritis with as to be honest i dont know anyone who has the same condition as me or anyone who truly knows what its like to have these problems.It would be fantastic to hear from any other mums also and talk about how you go about life as a parents because to be honest im getting no help from anyone other then my partner and im suddenly finding myself in a huge flare up and wondering how the hell im going to "do" things.hope someone is able to help.... :oops:
