    Hi Heather,

    Welcome to the Forum :)

    I am sure you will make lots of new friends on here like me. I find everyone friendly and helpful.
    People have different problems, mine is OA in shoulders and neck, but there are plenty of people of the Forum with RA.

    take care

    Hi Heather

    Just adding a welcome and a hug from me too. The lovely peeps on here will be glad to chat and offer support when you need it, so don't feel on your own with it all. We do like to have a laugh too so do jump in anywhere. I live alone with my dodgy hip and knees variety of OA but have found lots of friends here :D
    take care

    Hi Sprig :D

    Welcome to the forum. As you can see, you have made new friends already! :D This is a great forum and we all try to support and help each other as much as is possible. I called in here around three years ago and cannot get away and don't wish to either :lol::lol: in fact it can become quite addictive but a pretty harmless one :)

    I hope to see you posting more on the different zones.

    Get yourself an avatar and join in :lol:

    Luv

    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 Heather and welcome!

    I'm also 43 and was diagnosed with JIA at 7. Rheumy still says it's JIA that I have but at my age, that's stretching it a bit!

    Hi and thank you all for my warm welcome I dont know whether I have to reply to you all individually or collectively what is normal. Especiallt for Lois I have not had mine called JIA for a long time it is now RA and you are right it is stretching it a bit. I am keen to talk to others hard of hearing and extra difficulites that entails in dealing with medical world is there any hard of hearing on here and I am pleased you are not shouting
    best wishes to all Sprig

    Hi Heather

    You are very welcome here :D:D

    We area really nice and friendly bunch and always arund to support each other :)

    You reply however you want to Heather - I often do one big reply but name the people. Sometimes I do individual ones if someone has said something really useful....??? If that helps.

    No real etiquette - just be yourself

    Love
