Young Arthritis - Chester Area

Eir1971

Hi

My name is Eirian, I'm the Young Arthritis Rep for the Chester Branch of Arthritis Care. I'm 40 and was diagnosed with Rheumatoid and Psoratic Arthritis at 21.

I am seeking to set up a young arthritis group in Chester where younger sufferers can meet up, chat and gain support in dealing with the condition. If anyone is interested, please pop me an email. I would also like to hear from parents who have young children affected.

Hi,
I am 27 and was recently diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in my feet and knee. I have an active job looking after young children and would appreciate some advice on supportive footwear now the weather is becoming warmer. I have been wearing MBT during the cold weather which are comfortable for me but I need to get something like pumps or sandals that would be ok for everyday wear. Thanks, Lisa.

Hi

I'm sorry but I dont really have any advice for you regarding footwear. I tend to go for whatever I find comfortable and don't stick to any particular brand.

There are recent threads on the young people and living with arthritis forums which may be helpful to you.

Eirian.
