People also think having to catch the bus or train to work is hard too, but do you really know what is hard?
Having a disease that no one knows about.
When I say this it isn't because I don't think these things are hard as well, they just are particularity harder for me to do than everyone else. Well except the morning coffee part, I have pain killers for that.
People often ask me what the hardest part of having a hidden disease that impacts my life so much is?
I used to have to think about the answer but now since creating Kids Arthritis an organisation to support children and their families with Arthritis, my answer has now changed.
No brownie points for guessing what it might be now though.
Support
Everyday is just made harder by knowing the fact that I don't know anyone who suffers as badly as me who is also my age. All I want is for the children of this generation suffering with Arthritis to feel supported. We all need support in one way or another. Whether it be through death, break up or unwell times, everyone needs support but these amazing children especially.
I have made it my life goal to support these children and their families so they too can live a more pain free and happy life with fellow Arthritis suffers around them.
Until next time,
Just keep smiling, as you never know who's day you'll brighten.
