New to the group

Lee93

Hi all, thought I’d introduce myself as I’m new here..

My names Lee, I’m 31 and have RA. I’ve had arthritis since I was 3 years old in both my knees and both my ankles. Don’t take any medication for it as I’ve been on every drug you can think off over the last 20+ years and nothing has helped. The only thing that does the trick is steroid injections but then again they only work for so long. I’d love to be more involved within the Arthritis community because of how long I’ve had the condition and feel I could give something back to people who are newly diagnosed, especially younger people or parents of young people.

Anyway.. enough about me.. lol hope to speak to you all soon 👋
