"I am very low, awoke to pain in both my ankles, turned over after a fashion then tried to settle, no good had pain in my knee, am so fed up, it is not my idea of a life."

"I am so stiff this morning, I have been hit with the reality that my body is worsening, Red areas on my ankle bones, pain in hip knee spine, hands feet, not forgetting knees, I feel like I have been put through a wringer, I have huge nodules appearing, my nails are pitting, My toenails have red lines going down them, Am I changing into a Zombie,[ I need to know because I hate zombies}. I am lost, My way is not clear, I want to go to the shops by myself, look around, but get no farther than my gate. or just beyond. I have friends but I am lonely, and having suffered Multiple Deaths in my family for the last 2 years, makes me wonder who is next, I was not the Eldest, I had 4 family members who were the eldest, and now I am the eldest, I am not sure I like that position, I want a path to follow, where things go right not turned upside down. I say my prayers at night and sometimes forget a person so I recite it all again so I don't miss anyone out. My life makes no sense to me now, I wondered how the hell this happened."

"I have now found my nails are pitting, I have been in a flare-up since I had hand surgery in March 2018, it shows no sign of easing, just worsening day by day, It also has shown in my recent blood test that I have abnormal hormone levels, {what else can go wrong}, I am a diabetic and am having hypos even without taking any medications, I think I drastically need help."

"I am not too well, I have Osteoarthritis, And psoriatic Arthritis, Plus Pustular Psoriasis, on both hands and feet,It feels like my body is out of control, every step I take either my knees hurt and fail, or my feet hurt, I have had this for over 20 years, I have come full circle, No-body tells you anything, No-body listens, Does any body care any more? I was told I have many Autoimmune Problems, I just want a normal life? I am approaching my 65th Birthday, and not much has changed, Doctors either don't listen, I turned to Research, in the hopes that someday, when another person, has been diagnosed, And have gone through or is going through all the abuse I suffered, I want to help in some way, and research is the way to go. It may not work, it may prove to be the best thing since sliced bread, who knows?"
