I was diagnosed with arthritis at 13 months old. In my mind, I have always had arthritis. I don't remember what life was like before my diagnosis. Luckily, I was never bullied in school because of it. I only remember two occasions where it negatively came up with my classmates. One girl told me that I was going to die from arthritis. We were only in fourth grade. I still don't like that girl. I never wanted anyone to treat me any different because of it, except I didn't want to particpate in PE. I have only in recent years started to actually talk about my disease. Actually, part of my reasoning for trying out this blog is to provide education and support for others out there with arthritis!
