RA young & finding it challenging - any health insurance recs?

Hi all,

I am coming 24 in 2 weeks and was diagnosed with RA at 22. I’ve got damage to my left foot, left hand and right wrist. The right wrist ended up needing a partial fusion.


I was in pain a few days ago and it’s been revealed that I also have damage to my left thumb which I am super worried about.

I’m sick and tired of being restricted in my young life from doing the things my peers do / that I want to do! I’m sporty and have had to quit one sport for good and drastically curb the amount I play the other.

One moment I’m great and I secured my first teaching job for next year and the next I find out I’ve got more damage. It’s just a never ending cycle.

My health insurance doesn’t cover my RA or anything related. Due to the waiting times on the NHS here in Northern Ireland I often go private but this results in paying stuff out of my own pocket / family’s pocket.

Does anyone know any insurance who covers this?
