Support, information and a community for all things autoimmune
Hi, I’m Joel, I’m in my mid-thirties, from Norwich, UK and have had juvenile Arthritis since I was 11, diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis when I was 14 and Psoriatic Arthritis in my 20’s.
I created this blog to share my experiences, provide resources for people fighting autoimmune disorders and to act as a bit of self-help for myself when the going gets rough 🙂
I am stubborn and do as much as my body permits so although there will be posts when I’m struggling or having a bad day, I hope that I can inspire, demonstrate the positive side of those of us fighting arthritis or living with chronic pain and show that anything is possible with the right attitude and motivation.
I am always looking for feedback, contributions, guest posts etc. to help build what I am trying to achieve with this project so please do get in touch if you think you can help.
If you enjoy your time on this site or in any way find it useful, please don’t forget to subscribe to receive notifications of new posts and like, share and comment on any articles you enjoy – it really does help!
Thanks for visiting – Joel. 🙂

Have you put your heart and soul into blog posts only to find they don’t receive a single comment/any engagement? This has been happening for me since Christmas. Some posts would spring to life in an instant and others would get zero comments – I thought I was probably just boring people 😛 but what…
