Hi my name is racheal, I have got diebies, lymphoma and arthritis.

They all affect me in so many ways, diebies I have been on the board line for some time now, I know my size doesn't help me.

My lymphoma is in my feet, legs and my stomach, its built up of fluid, it does affect a lot of things I do, people do stare and take the mickey out of me which it does hurt.

Arthritis, I have got it in my lower back since the age of 21, I have now got it in my hips, knees and my arms, can't believe how much pain I am in constantly, but I just learnt to block the pain out.

Some people to take a mickey and that includes family members to which is the hardest thing that can happen.
