Hi I am new here. I have had Arthritis since I was 24 but they think I had it before that. I have it in my spine which they say is Rheumatoid Arthritis. It affects all my joints I walk very slow with crutches, so I use a mobility scooter mostly. I get bad head days, that seems foggy. I also have a marriage of Ulcerative Colitis which goes with it so they say.I am 60 now.

I am feeling very low at the moment being home for almost a year not going out cos of the COVID-19. I get no help but I do have carers which help me with showers and getting dressed. Which I have to pay towards. The government do not seem to help us.
