Guest guest Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hello. My name is Mackenzie and I am 30 year old female. I was diagnosed with AOSD in october of 2011. It took a month and a half to get diagnosed after I a started experiencing severe symptoms. I went from being a fully functioning and healthy individual to being in a wheel chair unable to care for myself. Even after the diagnoses it took several more months to get my flares under control. I am doing significantly better now due to the medications and a blood transfusion. I am walking again and doing some of my old hobbies such as gardening again but am still not back to work. I am extremely fortunate that my wife has been able to support us financially although it has been very difficult. I joined this group as a way to get and possible give support to others suffering from Stills disease. I am looking forward to learning more about peoples experiences and what seems to help others living with this disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
