    • Close Arthritis

      I was diagnoised with Arthritis when I was 17years old. My condition became more severe when I contracted Lymes Disese in 1984 and developed Lymes encephelitis. The Lymes caused the premature death of my unborn child and the Arthritis went downhill from there. I have had more than 10 arthrocopies, 2 knee replacements and 2 thumb fushions. But I keep on fighting to stay mobile.
