Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi everyone.. I just wanted to see how many of you are younger with RA? I am 27 and was dx 11 yrs ago, just at the age of 16. I've had a lot of depression issues with dealing with this at a younger age. I know some like melynda got is at much younger ages. So I feel guilty even saying all this. I never mention how I feel like I was robbed of my " fun years " as I don't want to feel like I'm throwing a pity party to my friends and family. I don't like to show my emotions, although it happens from time to time. I also found out recently I have pcos..polycyctic ovarian syndrome..which means slim chances for kids. I don't have any, but dearly love my 3 and 1 yr old nieces. I have had a few failed relationships bc they couldn't handle me being sick. And the dr wonders why I have depression? And I have severe limitations in my knee and both elbows. So I am so self concious and get panic attacks when I go anywhere new. Sorry about venting. I just wondered how others deal. I don't post very often..I get nervous..sounds funny..I know. I'm kinda a nut case. Oh well. Gotta laugh about it..when u can. Thanks for listening Central FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
