In the summer issue of Arthritis News in the readers letters page I have the esteemed place of star letter. This has made me feel really proud, and I have not had a lot to be proud of just lately. I would like to take this time to tell everyone to read my article. Ohh I am chuffed, I find it quite amusing that to have a letter published makes me feel so good. and advice everyone to give it a go. The feeling is remarkable.

Special thanks to Helen Nickols (editor Co- ordinator)

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Hi John :D

    After reading your thread, I realised that my subs may have expired so had a quick look and they had. Oh dear! A cheque was quickly sent off and today I received the mag with your Star letter in it. That is the first thing I turned to read. It was because of your posting that I realised I must no longer be a member, so :Dthank you!

    Brilliant. :D:D I am so pleased to read that you won your appeal with the help of an article on ESA in a past Arthritis News mag, sent out to members at the end of last year. A few days ago there has been a rather negative thread about AC and lack of help/guidance for arthritis sufferers to receive ESA, so it is refreshing to read that with their guidance and other help on welfare rights you WON.

    I truly wish you the very best and do call in, we love to hear from you.

    Love
