Why I'm moving...

I am moving to build a healthy and sustainable healthy habit all while raising money for Arthritis UK and a future free from arthritis.

Over 10 million people in the UK live with arthritis, affecting their ability to work, study, care for family, move free from pain and live independently. But arthritis is still poorly understood and far too little is done.

That’s why Arthritis UK funds life-changing research, supports those affected and campaigns for change. Arthritis UK won’t rest until everyone with arthritis has access to the treatments and support they need to live the life they choose, with real hope of a cure in the future.

14 Years On..

Thursday 30th Apr
So it’s coming up 14 years since my diagnosis.

I’ve tried so many things to stabilise my condition, from medication to diet changes, exercise to meditation. Everything helps in its own way, but it’s definitely not an easy ride.

Living with a condition that manifests in pain and a skin condition means that some medications help one but not the other. So deciding on which is the lesser of two evils can be hard.

I’m also at an age where I’m trying to make decisions for my future, so being healthy and mobile is important. But some medications help massively, and then you’d have to come off them if you wanted to have children.
I’m fortunate to be starting a new medication that means I won’t have to do that. Not that I have plans right now!! But meds can take months to stabilise, so being able to have new meds that I can stay on is exciting.

However, they are intravenous, which means injections. Which historically I’ve been so afraid of. Despite being covered in tattoos…

So this month will be a lot. Emotionally and physically. But I’m ready for the challenge!
