A Bristol mum went from being a high flying solicitor to a happiness consultant after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Carly Cannings said her baby girl was only six weeks old when she received the shock diagnosis.
Carly, who is in her 30s, said it all started after she and her family had spent a day out together in 2018. She said: “I started suffering from symptoms when our baby was only six weeks old. It came on very suddenly, we had been to the Balloon Festival and the next day my knees were really sore.
“I thought I had overdone it, but it became worse and worse. A chiropractor pointed me in the right direction and I went to the GP for a blood test.”
