HELLO!

Hello everyone!

I found this forum a few days ago and have been trying to pluck up courage to join - never done this before but everyone seems so friendly that I thought I would give it a go!

I am 42 and have had RA since I was 28.

My "best thing" is gardening and, although heavy digging may be off the agenda for now, I really enjoy pottering gently and sitting quietly in my greenhouse planting seeds and planning future gardening projects.

Assuming I manage to post this message successfully, I am just off to post a Humira question on the "Living with Arthritis" forum so hope to see some of you there later!

Hi Tillytop

A big warm welcome from me too. There's not much that I can add to what the girls have told you.

I really hope that you will like us and like the Forums as much as we do.

Love Trish xxx

Hi Tilly

Very pleased to meet you too!

My favourite thing is pottering in the garden too - the digging I delegate to the kids/husband

You are so welcome her - reckon you can help us lot too

I'd never done anything like it either but am so glad I plucked up the courage to join. Have you discovered chit chat yet, there are some really funny threads on there that have really cheered me up, particularly the one about spiders. It is so good to know that there are others around who understand exactly what it means to have arthritis, its such a comfort. Best wishes, Brenda

Thanks all for your kind welcome! Looking forward to visiting the cafe - the cakes sound scrummy!
