Hello. My name is Larain.
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I live in rural Scotland and the nearest hospital is around 25 miles away. I stopped driving when it became too painful. I have 6 monthly appointments and get flustered when I see my consultant so often forget all the things I want to ask and feel I can't tell him how I really feel because he treats so many people every day.
Anyway i'm waffling... :oops:
I am hoping that I will be able to access the help and information I need here and also to make friends with people who know how I really feel. Sometimes family and friends don't really understand..
Thank you.
