Hello

jessleighanne

Hi everyone, I'm Jess, I'm 29 (almost 30😅) and I have recently been diagnosed with JHD/HSD and have no idea where to go from here, I suffer quite badly with chronic fatigue as a symptom of my HSD and also a lot joint pain, mainly in my hands and knees, which I am just about managing for the most part, but I am happy to finally have an initial diagnosis (I'm currently awaiting blood tests for Osteoarthritis, Inflammatory Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis), after being told my joint pain is weight related all of my life so far - so this is a huge thing for me! I just wanted to pop on and say hello to everyone in the community as I have no one around me with a similar condition or diagnosis that understands what I go through on a daily basis. Looking forward to getting to know you all. Lots of love, Jess💖
