Rheumatoid Arthritis Matters - Rachael's Story

Rachael was just 22 when she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). She was fresh out of university and had a turbulent few weeks facing the condition at first. In this video, she tells us about her journey over the years, including this one time when she was accused of lying about her condition by a manager at work.

I managed to watch it after taking a little time to connect (my fault) it was quite informative,I’m learning more now than when I was newly diagnosed 20 years ago, I wish I had the confidence to ask questions then and now but it’s been such a journey I’m struggling with lots of ailments mostly my memory and Bipolar which I was diagnosed a Year before being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Hopefully I may get the chance to interact on another Webinar.
