Campaign idea: Michelle got back to work and walking
After severe joint pain stopped Michelle from hiking and working, helpline support helped her regain her independence.
This story
Michelle quit her sales job to hike and wild swim, but sudden hand spasms, fatigue and severe pain soon made basic daily tasks impossible. Struggling to navigate appointments and the NHS while waiting for a diagnosis, she called a helpline for practical advice on coping and staying in work. She has since returned to her job and walks every day while continuing to search for the right medication.
