Arthritic Young Thing?!


Question:

Arthritic Young Thing?

Been diagnosed with arthritis in my spine, (from top to bottom), and in my hips. I'm a 21yr old F.

Be honest, and blunt if needs be, what does the future hold for me?
I graduate this week, and i have a full time job lined up, i can barely work now (part-time in retail), there is nothing more the doctors can and are willing to do because i am too young for all the powerful meds. Besides i don't want pt pump my body with pills, i'm just asking for another health problem to arise that way.
n.b. i'm probably already the healthiest young adult in the UK, and always have been, and i already excercise regularly
What now, i don't want to give up.

What does the future really hold for me?
Thanks x

Answers:

Sorry, but being in the UK means you are going to have a lot of pain.

Something I have found that really helps me with the pain is drinking HALF a glass of red wine with my tea/dinner.

Avoid white wine, it really makes the pain bad.

High humidity will also spark off the pain and the normal damp and cold weather here in the UK is bad news.

Those who can afford it move to warmer countries.
