Hi my name is Chrissie and I'm 38 yrs old. I've just been diagnosed this morning with sero positive rheumatoid arthritis. I'm still in a bit of shock if I'm honest.
I am being prescribed Methotrexate 10mg and folic acid 5mg. I'm still absorbing everything and trying to find out as much as I can about the condition.
So just dropped by to say hello. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

I'm 43 and have had JIA for 36 years now! Someone recommended this forum to me last year and am so grateful to her for that. Just wish I'd known about it years ago!
Good luck with the mtx - I'm on sulpha but have heard many mtx success stories!

A big welcome from me too
At least you have found us! This is really the best place to be while you get your head around all of this - it is the best thing to do.
Talk talk and talk about it all - and sometimes the family dont want to hear us moaning
We will listen and help and you can help us too.
Love

They do get fed up - i think we can forget it impacts on them too :?
But we need to talk and talk till we get our heads round it all.
You worry about every little thing and must be hard to live with
Actually i think I always was hard to live with
Love
