hi! my name is danielle but my friends call me danie/coco. i have been dealing with pain for awhile now, but it started to increase to different areas of my body around january of this year. then in february i was diagnosed with covid and i have had trouble figuring out what is going on with my body since. my doctor thinks some type of inflammatory arthritis is the cause as my ESR, WBC, and C-reactive proteins are high. i al seeing a rheumatologist for the first time on wednesday, so i have not been formally diagnosed with RA, but everyone thinks that it’s the path im getting too. i guess i joined this app to talk with people and get support because it’s very hard to be in pain all the time.
