Hello again,
I would like to say thanks to everyone who has shown support since I joined this forum. I haven't really been able to offer much advise, so sometimes it feels very one sided. I assure you, if i can help at all, i will most certainly offer you advise/support/help. As mentioned, all of this is relatively new; It's barely 1 week since my positive diagnosis.. and my symptoms only since Jan. The past week(since diagnosis) was very up and down (emotionally). Though I haven't been in contact on the forum, I've been reading daily and appreciate it SO much. Thanks again everyone, you are really a great bunch!!!
Happyjoints everyone :)

    Hello
    I'm glad you've found the site useful. As for giving advice, sometimes all people want is to know that others are having the same sort of problems and they are not alone, but don't worry. Just join in when you want to.

    Hope all is going well for you. Enjoy the sunsine!

    Love Sue

    I agree that the people on here are great and so welcoming. I have had R.A for nearly ten years and often felt so alone. There are things you can say on here that nobody else understands.

    Take care all of you

    Hi

    I agree with you about the people on here, everyone is so supportive. I actually cried when I first came here, it was so good to find people who understood how I was feeling. I know family do try and support you but they really don't know exactly how you're feeling, finding this site was a godsend and has helped me so much.
    I love the Chit Chat forum and quite often sit here laughing out loud it's such a tonic when I'm feeling a bit down.

    Take care.
