Just Hi

cythna

Hi everyone, just saying 'Hello'.

I've had RA for nearly forty years (i was 17), although for the first twenty I was pretty well and able to work. However in recent years it's really caught up with me. I have other health issues so the drugs I can take are fairly limited, and then last winter I was diagnosed with Crohns disease, which the doctors think might have been caused by the Embrel I'd been taking!

I use a powerchair, love to go out and just travel around, it gives me so much freedom. I have the most amazing adapted home, where doors and windows open with the push of a button. I'm very lucky, although like many of you I'm worried about what will happen to our benefits.

Look forward to getting to know you all
