My name is jessica i am a medical student in utah. I am really bad with spelling so bare with me. i am not sure what this is but i will tell you a little about me. i have HLA-B27, it was discovered five yers ago but classified as rhuematiod arthritis. I feel like a 27 year old trapped in an 80 year olds body. I am so tired of being in pain and depression because of the pain. Every morning i wake up wondering how sevre the pain will be today and where. My right knee is already damaged and constantly swollen and hurting. but i never know day to day what extra pain i will for that day and how crippling it will be for that day. Every morning is a routine: I have to set my alarm one hour before i actually need to wake up so i can take my pain medication and get my body moving around after a horrible restless night do to stifness(everytime i try to get in a dirrerent position i have to wake my husband to help me slowly lift my leg just to turn to the oher side of my body) Once i am finally able to sit up i have to grab my cane and slowly walk to the restroom then slowly walk around for about 15 minutes til i can actually get in the shower whitch is another story but i wont go there. Finally after all the fun events of my morning i get the fun serprise of which joint is flarred up and deal with it from there. please talk to me and help me understand and give me some pointers to get me through this. Thanx
