Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Thomas has opened up about his battle with rheumatoid arthritis, revealing it has had a 'huge impact' on his life both emotionally and physically
Adam Thomas has candidly opened up about being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis ahead of his Strictly Come Dancing stint.
He began experiencing shooting pains in his knees, before travelling to his wrists, fingers, ankles and toes, but it wasn't until he'd undergone several blood tests and taken numerous trips to the hospital he found out what was wrong. The Waterloo Road star continued: “I just never saw this coming and I didn’t know what was happening to me. I was like: ‘Can someone just give me an answer as to what is going on.’ The pain was such that I couldn’t even walk down stairs and I could just stay in bed all day because it can be quite severe. I could have good days and bad days, but on the bad days, it was really, really bad.”
