Diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis 1 year ago, aged 30

Hannahs28

Hello,

I was diagnosed with PsA just over a year ago, having had symptoms for almost 2 years now. I'm struggling to come to terms with living with a chronic condition that rarely seems to get any better. it's having a real effect on my mental health and my life as a whole. Sometimes I feel like I have to limit myself so much, that I'm always making trade-offs and finding it so hard to do.

Would love to meet some people experiencing similar challenges to see how we can help and support each other.

Am in the Bristol-based area so especially interested to know anyone local-ish!
