Hi! I just joined the guild today and thought it would be proper to make an introduction.

I am 17 years old. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (diagnosis when I was 15), rheumatoid arthritis (diagnosis when I was 13), and essential tremor (diagnosis this year).

For those of you who might not be familiar with essential tremor or ET, it is a movement disorder. It is similiar to Parkinsons in some ways. ET is the most common movement disorder. It usually runs in families, but in my case, it does not. Essential tremor is a progressive disease, and out of my three chronic conditions, this is the one that scares me the most.

I am very happy to have found a community that raises awareness about so many serious conditions. I hope to share, encourage, learn, and help as a member of this guild.
