in Start here and say hello!

Hello everyone, I am new to this site so would like to say a bit about myself. Iā€™m Cara 52yrs old and I have Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia and to top it off I suffer with depression. I feel very alone sometimes as nobody understands the pain I am in, I just put on a smile and try to carry on. Does anyone else have the same problem? Would be nice to share our experiences.

    I'm a mummy of 1 who has thankfully grown into an adult so I don't need to pretend to be fine these days (though I wasn't good at pretending then either šŸ˜„). She was the only person ever to understand me and as a teenager, identified my autism and helped me get my diagnosis.

    Children are truly a gift. They love us despite our faults and our bad days. Knowing that life is not always a bed of roses can only be a good thing.

    I'm mostly alone but for my virtual Scope friends šŸ’œ
