WHEN THE pain from her arthritis got so bad that her GP told her she would have to be admitted into hospital, Laura Hickey (now 25) decided enough was enough. It was time for her to wrest back control from the disease that had taken over her life since she was a child.
“I was in college in Dublin at the time studying for my master’s in finance when I had a severe flare-up of arthritis in my upper body – my neck, shoulders and hands. It was going on for four or five weeks and when my GP told me that there was very little he could do and I would have to be admitted to hospital, I was terrified.
“I was on the maximum dose of steroids, but I was still screaming in pain and couldn’t sleep at night. The stress was taking a huge toll on my body, both physically and mentally, and I found it hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel.”
Laura made the decision to switch to a new consultant rheumatologist at the Mater hospital, who put her on a different medication regime, which has worked very well for her since. She has been in less pain in the past two years than ever before in her life.
