Liz talks about how she felt, physically and emortionally, when the condition first manifested itself.

Early stages

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic long term condition that principally attacks flexible joints, causing painful swelling, stiffness and fatigue. The risk of developing RA is associated with ageing but it also affects adults of working age and is three times more common in women. 56 year old Liz noticed her first symptoms in 1996, when her son was just 2 years old.  In this collection, she shares her experiences of living with RA, from early symptoms to drug-controlled remission.
