Being young with arthritis
Hi, I was recently diagnosed at age 17 after struggling with issues for as long as I can remember. Despite that, the diagnosis hit me like a truck realising that this is what my life is now. I joined this community in hopes there was other people my age who feel like they don't get a future just like I do. It would be great to find similar people who understand.
