Newly diagnosed 18

My daughter has been diagnosed with arthritis and has been prescribed methotrexate and prednisone. Any advice ? Also she would like to chat to anyone a similar age in the same situation. We live in Northamptonshire.

Hi,

I got diagnosed this year at the age of 29. Also on methotrexate and prednisone. I'm not sure what type of arthritis your daughter has been diagnosed with but I have found this forum extremely helpful 🙂 there are some online groups/fb groups but I've found there's not many for mine (Adult onset stills disease) and they're quite depressing! Whereas here people help each other out and give encouragement and hope.
