Hi there! My journey to wellness started 5 years ago when i moved to Australia and left behind a party life in Paris. After years of drinking, smoking and being constantly sick, it was time for a change. Diagnosed with psoriasis arthritis when i was 17 and then spondyloarthitis few years later, i am now 30 years old and there is not one day that pass where i dom' t feel pain in my body.cannot remember the feeling of being pain free. Sometimes i am ok and sometimes i can' t move at all, my joints get locked and the only thing do do is to take painkilers.
