I got diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis in 2019. I still work full time for the local council supporting individuals with pan disabilities. My role has been modified, I had input doing my risk assessment and my mangers are flexible. I also learn to pace myself better and let people know when I feel unwell. I have had input of a physio and OT and have good support off my Rheumatology team
