About Young Arthur

Hi All,

 I am Young Arthur, a 21 year old living with Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis, or Arthur.

 This blog is designed to allow me to connect with other people with arthritis and to share the highs and lows of living with Arthur. 

 My diagnosis story is a complex one and is not yet complete, but the trials and tribulations of getting a diagnosis is something many with arthritis can relate to. Despite not having a solid diagnosis, I am being treated for arthritis and I would like to share my experiences of attending appointments and the decision making process which has lead me to try the medications I have. I want to show people how it is possible to advocate for yourself in a time where the health services are under such strain, and I want to show that it is possible to live well with arthritis.

    Bonjour à tous, je souhaite partager avec vous un témoignage extraordinaire sur ma guérison grâce au Dr Jekawo, qui a soigné de nombreuses maladies.

    Je souffrais d'herpès et de diabète, et ma petite sœur était atteinte d'un cancer du sang. Grâce au Dr Jekawo, nous allons tous bien. Il a préparé des remèdes naturels qu'il nous a envoyés par DHL, et nous a expliqué comment les prendre. Nous avons suivi le traitement à la lettre, et aujourd'hui, nous sommes en pleine forme. Nous vivons sans problème depuis deux ans, et c'est comme une bénédiction divine. J'ai découvert le Dr Jekawo en ligne grâce à une femme qui témoignait, comme je le fais maintenant. J'ai également présenté le Dr Jekawo à plusieurs collègues souffrant de diverses maladies, et il les a tous guéris grâce à ses connaissances en phytothérapie. C'est un homme exceptionnel, doté d'un don ancestral pour soigner l'herpès, le cancer, le diabète, l'hépatite, le HPV, le lupus, la SLA, le VIH/SIDA, et il propose également des consultations spirituelles. Je lui ai envoyé un courriel à l'adresse drjekawo@gmail.com et un message WhatsApp via son site web www.drjekawo.com, car c'est le seul moyen de le contacter puisqu'il vit loin des États-Unis. Je lui ai dit que je témoignerais en sa faveur car c'est un homme bon et pieux.

Studying with Spondyloarthritis: My University Experience

Image
In July 2017 I graduated from University with a Bachelors degree in Physiotherapy. When I started Uni back in September 2014 I was already under Rheumatology and had been for a number of years having dealt with joint problems since I was about 11 years old. However, it wasn't until November 2014 that I was actually diagnosed with an inflammatory arthritis that we weren't yet able to identify. I spent my entire Uni experience balancing a social life, uni work and my arthritis - or maybe "juggling" would be a better term for it.  My degree was the perfect split of practical and theory, meaning I could go into Uni to practice various treatments and techniques with my peers, but I also needed to sit down and learn the theory behind these therapies and how to adapt them to individual patients in different settings. Over the three years, the practical aspect of my degree moved more to real life settings and was developed on placements, whereas our lectures, seminar...

Backpacking with Spondyloarthritis: My trip through Europe

Image
I was recently fortunate enough to go on a backpacking holiday around Europe with my friend. We planned to go away for 15 days starting in Dubrovnik, then up to Zagreb, onto Ljubljana with a day at Lake Bled, over to Budapest, up to Bratislava with a day in Vienna and finally onto Prague. All in all we travelled approximately 1000 miles, and we did it all by bus. A rough plan of our route I was a bit apprehensive about going away for this holiday. It would have been the first time my friend and I had travelled so far on our own, the first time we would have to negotiate travel across 6 different countries, and for me the first time I have backpacked. I had so many questions relating to the logistics of travelling this far for the first time, but also travelling this far for the first time with arthritis - should I take my Humira and Methotrexate injections with me? What rucksack would be the best for my back? What do I do if I flare while away? Will travel insurance be really ...

My diagnosis story

My current diagnosis is Seronegative Spondyloarthritis. This diagnosis is not exact as it describes a family of related conditions including: Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) – peripheral arthritis with or without axial arthritis usually with skin or nail psoriasis (or a family history of skin or nail psoriasis in first degree relatives) Ankylosing Spondylitis/Axial Spondyloarthritis (AS) – predominantly axial arthritis characterised by inflammatory back pain though people with AS may also commonly have arthritis in shoulders and hips – can also have arthritis in other peripheral joints but not as common as shoulder and hips Reiters syndrome/reactive arthritis (ReA) – arthritis which occurs after certain infections in certain individuals Undifferentiated Spondyloarthritis (USpA) – arthritis which is seronegative but does not yet fit the criteria of the first 3 conditions So what does seronegative actually mean? Well in this case ...
