I think it's today - dorcas mentioned it somewhere on a thread but I cannot remember which one. I plan to celebrate by sulking: my mood today is not good. I am tired of the disease, tired of the ineffective meds, tired of the pain and tired of being tired. DD

Yes I was supposed to be manning a stall in our market today making everyone more aware of arthritis etc and selling a few things but in another post i mentioned the results a change of med had on me so couldnt go.
Just going to e.mail the person in charge of volunteers to find out how it went

i am not too keen on days to commemorate pain, but awareness is certainly a good thing......0

Yes awareness is definately a good thing....You would be surprised at the amount of people who have been diagnosed and then just left to it. Dont know anything about it or where to go for help and advice. I've met so many. Think of the "awareness" on this forum.
No matter how long we have had it there is still alway a question we need to ask and there is usuually someone who knows the answer or a few people with differing views for you to try.
Love

HI, Yes, we do need as much awhereness as possible. So many people think arthritis is a fairly minor thing, just aches and pains when you get older. I would be nice, too to have a male and female couple, to front a campaigne, who is young and attractive, but has arthritis. That might help a bit.

I'm sorry I missed it.
I'm glad I know about this forum. I'm only an occasional visitor but the information, advice and support here is extremely valuable.
Thank you.0
