My names Matt and im from the Uk, i'm 16 years old and i was diagnosed when i was 7. I've tried every medicine under the sun and they all worked for a while but sooner or later it was as if my body built up a tolerance to the drugs and they stopped working. Right now i'm on a weekly adalimumab injection and a weekly methotrexate(sp?) injection. I feel great at the moment health wise*touch wood* but my confidence is quite low. Ive always been positive about my condition but now i'm at that age where my friends are going to the pub and having nights on the town. but due to me looking so young and being underweight i cant join them. I'm glad i've found a place like this so i can have a good moan when i'm feeling low and i also look forward to hearing all of your stories
