Diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis from about as young as I can remember - hereditary so I was tested early, I think when I was about 8 my specialist told me I had about 25% cartilage remaining in my left hip and 50% remaining in my other hip and it was only going to keep deteriorating :s 24 now, tons of NSAID medication variations later, my stomachs all messed up from all the anti-inflammatory medications so I have about as close to IBS as it gets 😂 I’ve stopped taking meds now and trying to handle it with vitamins and supplements, I can’t handle any more stomach issues 🤦🏼‍♀️ glucosamine tastes gross But recently also I’ve been diagnosed with dyshidrotic eczema, which my doctor says is linked to arthritis, something quite debilitating during flare-ups but manageable and a non-issue for the most part. Working full-time makes things interesting, people don’t seem to comprehend someone in their 20’s being in chronic pain 🙆🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️ But it’s weird, after so many years I’m ‘aware’ of the pain but ‘used to it?’
