Arthritis Quest begins
Arthritis Quest is a new blog, chronicling my quest to survive with inflammatory arthritis.
About me: I’m a 25 year old male in Washington DC, who was recently diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis. The doctors right now are not sure if it is rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, or some other deal. So, this blog will follow my journey through learning to live with whatever disease that I have.
After the shock of getting this diagnosis, I’ve decided to make some lifestyle changes. This blog will also follow my quest to drop my blood pressure, and lose weight. I didn’t want to call this blog weightloss quest, or blood pressure quest, so it will have to do as an ancillary to the living with my arthritis theme.
Tomorrow or Wednesday, I’ll write more about this Monday’s rheumatology meeting. But I have one more post to make before I do that.

Hi there,
I also suffer from Arthritis - I have Asymmetric genetic degenerative (HLA-B27 positive) Rheumatoid Arthritis… lol bit of a mouthful, but to cut a long story short, I do feel for you man!
I was diagnosed when I was 24… Mmm no age is a good age though…
Atleast if you know at a young age, you have time to learn about it - My advice is always keep ya chin up, and always listen to the Docs!
Take care and good luck!
