I have severe arthritis in both knees & back, I can’t exercise like normal people that can jump around & walk & run. I have to use a walker or wheel chair, when I walk I can walk for just a few steps & have to sit down again the pain is so bad. I take celebrex for it every day. I heard pools are a good way to get exercise but there its out of the question as I am on a limited budget & the pool fees cost way too much, any suggestions on how I can exercise every day & try to keep fit like I used to be? I would appriciate any suggestions.

I was offered a modeling contract to do modeling in my wheelchair.
You see, I’m a girl who has Juvenile Arthritis and sometimes I am in a wheelchair.
Recently I’ve worked hard to get walking and out of the chair. In fact, I only had to use it a few times this last winter. I’m so much better now that I’m even doing some ballet. (Not en pointe, of course.)
My Arthritis moved to my wrist. I have always wanted to model, but do I really want to be known as the wheel-chair girl? I’m not even in a wheelchair anymore, and I worked so hard to get out of it. What if people don’t want me for anything else and if I get a job where I have to stand will people call me a faker who was in a wheelchair just to get work.

I’m sooo confused!
What should I do!?

Is it possible to live with it?, overcome it? Stay on painkillers the rest of your life? Live in a wheel chair?
