MEET CARLY
I am 33 years old and I am married to an amazing man and have 2 beautiful children that take up most of my time. I live in the Yarra Valley and I love it here. We have a beautiful view of the mountains and it is a peaceful area for my husband, the kids and our 2 sausage dogs, Lowryder and Snaggs.
I was diagnosed with RA after suffering from an anaphylactic reaction to N.S.A.I.D.S. Apparently the shock to my system, brought out the disease as it was lying dormant in my body. It has taken almost 3 years to get my RA under control as a lot of the medications haven’t touched my pain or helped in any way up until recently.
