Hi, I'm new.

Hi everyone

My name is Jess, I'm 16 and I've had Juvenile Arthritis since I was about 3 1/2 and since then been diagnosed with a few extra things just to make it more interesting. I've never had the opportunity to talk with others in the same situation and when I found this website I thought it would be nice to sign up.

Thanks for reading

Hello jellybean, it's nice to meet you! There are a few young'uns like yourself around on here from time to time, I hope they spot your post. May I suggest you post again on the Young Persons' forum? They sometimes look there, tho I believe that forum may be split soon - you can always post on LWA too (living with arthritis). Lots of people hang about on there. I am an ancient hag of 52 - I started this ghastliness at aged 37 and felt that was too young - how the heck you really young ones cope with it all amazes me. This is a good place for support and information, I hope you soon find your way around. I wish you well. DD
