Hello,

My name is Alice Green and im a 21 year old university student who is most likely suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis, i show most of the symptoms of it, and i have been falsely diagnosed with Fibromyalgia due to my photographic evidence i took of my inflammed joints (fingers, knee, elbows). I have been suffering with R.A for a year and i have recieved little to no help from the NHS, I have gone to my GP, but the issue is that i can only go when im healthy enough to walk there, which ultimately means that MRI, X ray scans show that my body is okay even though i have been in agonising pain everyday. The reason why i can type this is because i am bed-bound and under prescribed morphine to help knock me out so i dont feel my flair ups when they happen. I have had incompitent doctors who dont believe my symptoms and im just so lost as to what i can do, i need desperate help, i need ideas on what i can do? im not sure how long i can take it with the way things are now. i need a proper diagnosis and medication ASAP.

Thank you
