I am always wondering how old different forum members are - I'm a nosey so & so!

We all know that arthritis is perceived to be an elderly person's disease but we, of course, know different.

So, go on, tell me how old you are.....be honest!

I am 38.

    Merylmax,

    Think lots of us suffered for many years before diagnosis, I was about 20 undiagnosed. X

    In my mind 40
    In pain 80
    In bed 20
    In reality 60

    But the important thing is "Mrs C sees me as that 17 year old young man" that she met her a long time ago...or so she keep saying and she's right, " I do look 17" haha

    God bless you all. John x

    I am 48 and in my head I'm still young. Had R.A for a long, gruelling 12 years.

    Recently turned 24, had knee problems for ten years (only just diagnosed as OA, it was put down to ‘growing pains’ all that time – I haven’t grown an inch since I was 14, but would they listen?! Would they heck). Seems I’m a bit of a wee bairn in comparison to some – though the mental age of some of you lot is far younger and spirited than I often feel! :eek: :lol::lol:

    Little old me is 26 in life and 200 in another dimension.

    Had arthritis in my shoulder since I was 9 years old, but since my HMS diagnosis last year its been noted I may develop OA in my knees, elbows and fingers (I think I already have it in my fingers to be honest)

    I am 40 and my kids have told me that I have never grown up. They told me that I will be 18 until I die. In my mind I am.

    There are days that I feel 140 but thats just the pain!!

    My hubby is 62 on Tuesday and we have been married a grand total of 16 months!! :)
