she says "I took this photo of myself at 6.53pm lastnight after I’d just dropped our whole dinner on the kitchen floor. My fingers and wrists decided to stop functioning and I dropped absolutely everything on the floor. I have Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) which effects all of my joints, I take daily medication to stay afloat, I inject an ANTI-TNF treatment every month, I have blood tests taken every fortnight, I have steroid injections, endless rheumatology appointments and fluid removed from my joints. The realities of this condition aren’t something I share often on here, but WOW some days are really really hard. Some days I can’t even open a tin or a bottle, can’t do up a button, can’t put my own socks on, can’t hold up a kettle or a pan. The things I used to take for granted became difficult very quickly. If you, like me, suffer from an MSK condition (1 in 4 of us in the UK do) don’t shrug your pain off as ‘just pain’. These illnesses are debilitating, isolating and at times you feel out of your depth. Speak out and talk, you aren’t alone ♥️"
