Hey, I'm Ellen! Welcome to my channel, where I share my journey of living with rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosed at 18, I've spent my adult life figuring out how to live a life I love while managing this totally life-changing disease. I've made a lot of mistakes, but I've learned valuable lessons and I'm excited to help anyone who needs it. On this channel, you'll find a mix of lifestyle vlogs, chronic illness tips, and advice tailored to people living with chronic conditions like RA, as well as support for anyone managing pregnancy with an autoimmune disease.
Flare Family was born out of my TikTok, @ellenwitharthritis, and now exists as a website and YouTube channel. I'm dedicated to empowering individuals navigating Rheumatoid Arthritis and other chronic diseases by educating, fostering a supportive community, and promoting self-advocacy.
