    Hi Kitty
    I am an old git at 45 and yes I have arthritis :(
    Haven't got a proper diagnosis really because the rheumy calls it RA but the bloods have been negative....so....who knows? Am on hydroxy,amitrip and arcoxia plus co-cos as and when.
    What about you?

    Hi, Kittycat - I'm an even older git at 65! And the jury's still out on exactly what I have, like Toni.

    Mellman, behave - last time you bit someone you broke your dentures!

    As they say age is nothing but a number. Trust me from experience it can take a considerable amount of time to be diagnosed which is extremely frustrating but if you are sure you have RA then persist with the speciallist to keep on looking.

    Hello Kittykat

    Welcome to the forum. I hope you find plenty of advice, points of view answers and most of all smiles.

    Some are a zany lot, I hope I can include myself in with them.

    Happy to have you on board. First the cafe I think.

    You'll soon get the hang of it.
    First of all, your washing up :roll: :lol::lol:
