Just thought I would post a welcome to all the new people who have been appearing on the forum in recent weeks.

I haven't been keeping up with all the threads just lately and I know that I have missed lots of people. I hope you don't mind the general 'welcome' but it is genuinely meant.

I hope you all find this forum as useful as I have, and that you keep posting!

    :D:D Echo! Echo! :D:D I try to keep up with all the newbies but often fail miserably.

    Hope everyone's day is going along ok. The rain has actually stopped now but I wonder for how long. Oh well, the plants need a good watering.

    Sending a cyber hug to one and all,

    Luv

    ps I am not neglecting my baby sitting duties with my grandchild - she is fast asleep at the moment and hopefully will be for another 45 minutes and then her mummy will be very pleased. :lol:
    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi To all newbie's
    Sorry not been on the site much due to trying to cope with work/ flare and general demands of life :shock: but it is a brilliant site with so much valuable info on it. So welcome to everyone who has just discovered it. Its a shame you need it, but at least you will find answers to most your questions and many people who understand what you are going through and can empathize.

    Thank you all for the welcomes, I am new to this site but have found everyone so helpful and it is nice to be able to talk to you all who understand.

    I have RA and was diagnosed last Aug. I dont have a huge amount of experiance or knowledge of RA but hopefully I will be able to provide some help to others as you all have to me.

    Thanks for the warm welcome to the site. I am also new and cannot provide much in the way of knowledge, but I can offer my support. :)
    It's been a real life saver for me to know there are people like you out there that are willing to chat about your experiences. Thanks everyone! :)
    much love
