••••••• She says... “Writing about my #journey with #juvenile-onset #psoriatic #arthritis has brought so many wonderful things to my life; fellow #spoonies, #understanding from loved ones, and #opportunities to #advocate. But the most valuable thing it's brought to my life is #validation.

After years of being told I had "growing pains" and then going through the process of being #diagnosed with an uncommon form of #juvenile #arthritis, I felt #confused, #isolated, and even doubtful of myself. #Blogging and immersing myself in the chronic illness community brought others to my life. Hearing others say "hey, I've been through this too," was so #healing. Every so often, people thank me for writing about my #experiences because it's helped them. But in reality, I should be thanking my readers: knowing there is someone else out there who understands has given me the #confidence and #affirmation I desprately needed” •••• Thank you @girlwitharthritis for sharing your beautiful story 💓. #iAMawarrior #arthritismovement #girlwitharthritis
