Hi! I'm Argentinian. I have been recently diagnosed with Still's disease. I've also been advised to get in touch with other people with this rare disease. So here I am, ready to give it a try. 🙂

Hi! I'm a 21 year old and was diagnosed with AOSD in March last year. It is very rare so I've not found many others like me!

Hi @ellie19000885 firstly let me welcome you to the forum I hope you find the information and support you are after from our wonderful community.

I can see from your post that you have quite recently been diagnoses with Adult Onset Still's Disease. I hope you are able to find others with similar experiences.

The site is full of information and conversations like the one you have commented too. I wanted to signpost you to a couple of links, firstly general information on AOSD and then a positive story of overcoming AOSD.
