Hi everyone
My name is Anne and have finally plucked up the courage to post on the site, 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Sero Positive RA I can't say that in all that time I have been in pain etc because it would not be true, I have had years of being in remission and years when things have gone gradually downhill but I do know that as you get older things are harder. I have gained more knowledge and information in the last few months from all your posts on the site than over the last 10 years.

Hi Anne
Welcome to the forum. It is good to know that since you were diagnosed you have had years in remission but not so good to hear that some years have not been that great either and I am sorry.
This site is brilliant for information and support and please feel free to ask any questions and we will try to help you.
There is always the chitchat zone too which is very lively and popular.
Take care
Luv

Hi Anne,
Welcome from me as well, they are a nice lot here. Take care Cris0 -
Hi Anne and welcome!
I was diagnosed with JIA (kiddie RA!) when I was 7, but like you, I've had long periods of remission. Each time it relapses, it's like being diagnosed for the first time as treatment has changed so much.
I am eternally grateful to the person who recommended this forum to me, as I've gained so much more knowledge from the lovely folk here than from any practitioner!

Hello, Welcome to the site and I'm glad you are getting some help from it already. I know that I have had lots of help and support, people here have all been through the same sort of experiences at some time, which makes it easier to talk, and the advice is so helpful.
I hope that you will carry on joining in, as I'm sure you have a lot to offer, as well as getting any help you need. I have OA althogh I'm still having tests for a curve in my spine and making sure I still don't have RA!
Love Sue0
