Poem -
Diagnosed
When I was 7 years old I was diagnosed with
arthritis
I spent many hours and days in the doctors
office
I took medication after medication for
years
With my health and happiness the medication took my
tears
I couldn't cry and try hard enough for it to go
away
I tried my hardest but the sickness
stayed
Over time I developed anxiety and
depression
This only meant even more
medication
I'm 14 years old now and still living in
pain
I thought I was better but it's back and worse
again

aww vanessa i feel for you ,my daughter is 10 now and was diagnosed with arthritis at 4 she takes methotrexete and is good the past few years .inflammation does be painful but i am sure you know that even through the pain that keeping exercising is the best thing to help .my daughter like you loves to write poetry and maybe someday she will write about hers as well because most people really dont know how much children suffer with this .i admire you for writing about this and hopefully you will get more good days than bad good write and keep going tina x
