Got it in my right knee at 18. Buy 20 it had spread to both knees, elbows, and wrists. I was undiagnosed for 4 years. By now its become full body. Its in my face, stomach, back, literally everwhere. Before treatment my case was severe. Still bedridden, house bound wheelchair user.
And yet.
Im alive, and im happy. I don't know how i did that. I don't know how i made it this far. I don't know how i survived. But every single day that goes by im reminded of the true strength of my body and spirit. If i can not only survive 7 years of full body crps, but also find HAPPINESS despite it... i don't know, i think that means i can do anything.
It can get worse. It WILL get worse. And i will still be okay.
Nothing was worse than being undiagnosed. At this point it doesn't matter to me that the disease slowly progresses. I survived the worst part and i will NEVER not know whats happening to me again.
Being where i am right now is my greatest achievement and nothing will top that.
