About Me

I am 27 and was diagnosed with RA at 24. I began having symptoms at 22 and refused to go the doctor because of my fear of finding out what was wrong w/ me. By the time I did go to the doctor, my body was as stiff as a board, literally,  I could barely get out the car to walk to the entrance. Every single joint had locked up and stiffened.

 Now, my only problem is my swollen knuckles and wrists, as well as sharp pains every so often in my wrists I believe due to carpal tunnel. I am so blessed at how far I've come and I'm so blessed that I've come across this website.

 I hope to gain a wealth of information as well as share what information I have. Feel free to message me at any time!
