Hi there! I’m Emily, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I hear you when you say that having arthritis as a young adult is difficult, and it can be very isolating not knowing other people who have the same experiences as you.
I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis at the age of 20 after waking up in the middle of the night with sudden, unexplained pain in my knees – marking the beginning of my journey with arthritis as a young adult.
I know all too well the struggles of navigating life with arthritis and hearing advice from people who don’t quite understand and being told to ‘just try turmeric, it will help!’
Living with arthritis doesn’t mean we can’t live our lives to the fullest and engage in all the activities that make us who we are – it’s about adapting, thriving, and moving forward in our own unique way. That’s what The Young Adult’s Insight is all about.
This space is designed to share practical tips, personal stories, and empowering advice to help you navigate life with arthritis. Whether you’re starting a new career, planning your next big adventure, or simply trying to manage your day-to-day, you’ll find resources here to inspire and support you.
Every month, I’ll take you through actionable strategies to help you feel empowered, prepared, and ready to take on anything.
