My story

Jamielee

Hi my name is Jamie-lee I’m new to this so I’m not sure if I’m doing it right, I am 20 years old, I got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when I was 10years old, but it started when I was 8 it started in my neck, and nobody could tell me what it was, as it took two years to find it had already spread to all my bones, I have embrel injection once a week, but I really hate needles I don’t know how when I have had so many now haha, I just thought I would join this to maybe get some tips on pain control and stuff as I still don’t cope well with my pain, thank you for reading and I hope your all well xx
