Hello!
Welcome to my blog Confessions of an Arthritis Warrior!
My name is Caitlyn and I am currently 17 years old. I'm guessing you're here because, like me, you have arthritis. Well, luckily I'm here to help you!
Being a teen is an awkward stage for lots of reasons; exams, crushes, school...but most importantly, it's when we have very little support to do with arthritis. For me (though this may be different for everyone) 15 is when you're not quite an adult, but you're not a child, so you're left in the void of "What do I do now?". Hopefully, using this blog, we can all help each other with not only physical support (such as physio exercises) but also lifestyle (foods good for inflammatory diseases) and mental support! No more "My disease makes me different," or "I'll never be normal." I've had those thoughts too.
It gets better. It may take a few weeks, months or even years, but you will overcome the negative thoughts that come with arthritis, and you will be okay.
Thank you for reading, and welcome to my blog!
-Caitlyn
