**Q:** What is one thing your doctor didn't tell you about your Autoimmune Arthritis that you wish they had?
**A:** My pediatric Rheumatologist was amazing, I wish I would have listened to him when I was younger!

**Q:** If you could tell your past self something before diagnosis, what would it be?
**A:** Do as they say, they know what they're talking about. No matter how much it hurts, how lonely you feel, you are a
lot stronger then you let yourself believe.

**Q:** What would you like to tell others newly diagnosed with Autoimmune Arthritis?
**A: **It's a B@%*$ but you are not alone, don't hold anything in, others may not understand but if you do not say how you feel it'll get worst.

**Q:** What are three random things about yourself that others may not know?
**A: **As optimistic as I try to be, I have doubts about my future, I really don't like hearing when other's complain about their "normal" lives, and I talk to myself a lot.
