Happy Birthday to...

… my psoriatic arthritis! Today marks 22 years since the very first symptom.
Perhaps I should feel miserable, but I prefer to celebrate the fact that I'm still alive and (sort of) kicking, despite everything. So I've just invited a few friends round for a bit of a party next weekend :P
Just wondered, does anyone else do something special for their arthritis birthday, or is it just me :?:
Best wishes,
Phoebe

I can't even remember when I was diagnosed other than age 15. It must have been winter because at first it was thought I just had chilblains on my knuckles. Always up for a party though0

Thanks, SW!
Yes, inflamed knuckles do look chilblain-esque. I spent many of my adolescent winters with massive fingers and toes, to everyone's amusement
Hope you're well today,

Thanks, Marrianne!
The party's not till Saturday, so I've got a bit of time to prepare myself healthwise. Hope you've had a better day!
Best wishes,
