Wishing you nothing but the best. My late mom had it for the last 35 years of her life and learned to manage it enough to live a very good life. At first there was nothing but some trial medications available, but over time some very effective medications were developed that helped her immensely. One of my best friends, who is a scratch golfer, got diagnosed about 6 months ago as well. He couldn’t hold a golf club or ride a bike his wrists and hands hurt so bad. After being on the proper meds for a couple of months he is back to his normal daily activities, albeit with some pain and discomfort. Hang in there and establish a relationship with a good medical specialist. Positive thoughts will be coming in your direction.
