“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” ~Albert Camus Life has a way of throwing us curve balls when we least expect them.
For years, I had been managing the usual ups and downs of life when I was blindsided by a diagnosis that would forever change the way I lived: psoriatic arthritis.
It’s one of those illnesses that most people don’t quite understand because it doesn’t always show on the outside. I looked fine, but inside, my body felt like it was on fire.
The pain was constant, an unwelcome guest that wouldn’t leave, and it was compounded by the invisibility of it all. I’d wake up each morning, bracing myself for the pain that would greet me like a familiar adversary.
