About
It’s hard to know where to begin, I am 24 years old and my life significantly changed just over a year ago.
What started as an alarming skin reaction & being diagnosed with Chronic urticaria & severe joint paint. To not being heard early on with GP’s, constant dismissal or something bigger underlying. I have continued to push the unknown answers of how 1 day my body changed and has not been the same. To this day I still have no answers as to my condition, I am currently being seen by a Rheumatologist & Dermatologist who are helping me on my journey to an auto immune diagnosis. At this stage, over a year of this battle I am being treated for what may be Rheumatoid Arthritis or Rheumatoid Vasculitis or possibly Still’s Disease.
I have spent thousands on private consultations & appointments costs. Multiple medications, ultrasounds & x-rays.
This year has been the hardest of my life, constant tests, constant doctors appointments. I struggle with chronic flare ups of my skin, debilitating joint pain & immense fatigue. But the biggest struggle has been not knowing what went wrong, why my body changed and trying my best to be positive through it all despite the mental challenges as well as physical.
I am new to reaching out to others in the same situation as me, new to seeking support. Whether you can help me in the costs of my medical bills, kind words or even a prayer.
I work a minimum wage $24 an hour job and try my best to save and budget each fornight to put money aside for my health.
Any act of kindness helps, I am immensely grateful for any kind of support. From the deepest depths of my heart. For anyone that took the time to read just a small part of my story I thank you.
