The pain just gets to you after a while.

Most days I try to be cheery and perservere through the pain but some days I just can't. I give up and feel bad and take to my bed and leave the world behind. I use to feel guilty about doing this but really no one wants a grumpy person around.

When I was younger and people said they had arthritis I thought "oh yeah, old people get it, it causes a bit of pain in their joints" but you don't really understand until you get it. So painful, it eats away at you. I take plenty of painkillers but am never without pain.

Do I Have Arthritis?

Pain is the way your body tells you that something is wrong. Most types of arthritis cause pain in your joints. You might have trouble moving around. Some kinds of arthritis can affect different parts of your body.
So, along with pain in your joints, you may:

• have a fever


• lose weight


• have trouble breathing


• get a rash or itch

These symptoms may also be signs of other illnesses.
But mostly you will just have PAIN in your joints!
