It’s been so long since I first shared my story and I’ve gotten so many more followers since then too. So here’s my story… * My name is heather. I’m 33, married to an amazing husband and we have 2 cats. Soon we are planning on buying our first house together in a different state. I was born with rheumatoid arthritis, diagnosed at 18 months old. Growing up with arthritis was very difficult and I didn’t always fit in because I couldn’t do the same things kids my age were doing. I’ve been on many different medications - methotrexate, Naprosyn, prednisone and many others. Nothing helped until I stated humira. Humira gave me a life. Since taking humira I’ve gone back to work though I’m still limited on what I can do. In 2020 right before the pandemic hit my area my ra was in remission for the first time. I was the healthiest I’ve ever been. The last year though I’ve gone back to being anemic and inflammation is up. Set backs happen and that’s okay. I started this account as an outlet for people like me. For the kid growing up with arthritis who needs someone to look up to. I started this account not knowing what I was really getting into. It’s become so much more than I could have hoped for. Knowing I’ve helped people along the way and advocating for arthritis and so many other diseases and illnesses. I also have anxiety, depression, chronic migraines, ovarian cysts and hearing loss in my right ear that will eventually require a hearing aid. I’m so happy to be part of the disabled advocate community. #rheumatoidarthritis #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior #rheumatoidarthritisawareness #rheumatoidarthritissucks #arthrtis #arthritisawareness #arthritiswarrior #arthrtissucks #chronicpain #chronicpainawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpainsucks #invisibleillness #invisibledisease 💜💙 https://www.instagram.com/livingwitharthritis_/p/CYRabOjrLi5/?utm_medium=tumblr
