My knees, ankles, toes, fingers, elbows, wrists, hips but the one where my arthritis is more like prevalent is in my wrist, in my right hand wrist. Like I have actually 75% usage of this wrist. That's because obviously the medicine and everything, they couldn't get to, you know, couldn't stop the arthritis attacking it so I've, yeah. If you ever say my x-ray you can actually see the bones are deformed compared to the left hand ones but yeah so I have limited usage of it and mainly my ankles it affects as well. So it's like in most of my joints but in more areas it like has more of a presence like say. Yeah so it's my wrists, mainly fingers and my ankles hurt more prior to being inflamed but it hasn't happened for a long time now really.

If you have been diagnosed try and seek other people out that have it as well because it's always nice to have a little bit of support from other sufferers and you know; I don't know how you would go about that but try and find like meetings or something that you know have other families that go to them or something. Even, I don't know, if you made, somehow approached the consultant and asked is there other kids in the clinic that might want to think about meeting up and having a chat or something like that. Just you know build some form of social network I suppose with that. Where like, the CCAA charity weekend, the one I go to, that's how I met my friends with arthritis and they're wonderful, they're normal people and you know they're great people to talk to if something was just like a bad day and everything, great to talk to because they know what's going on. You know they know what you're feeling and everything and you know you're not alone, you know. There's one in one thousand people in the country that'll get it so you know, there’s bound to be someone near you and everything.
