Hi everyone. New here and am not sure of my way round yet. I hope this message is in the right place! I have RA and was diagnosed 4 years ago. Also have OA in hips.
Spend most of my time in a chair now as am getting old. The internet keeps me going and have been looking at this site for a while now and thought I would join in the fun.

    Hello wooly monkey, it's nice to meet you. I have PA and take a fair few meds which sort-of help, I am just emerging from a flare which I am pleased about! Having RA and OA must make life complicated - does your RA treatment upset the OA in anyway? I wish you well. DD

    Hi Wooly-Monkey (love the name!) and welcome from me too!

    You obviously have a lot on your plate with both RA and OA but you are in good company here and I think you will find lots of support - and hopefully be able to share some of your experiences too. The "Living with Arthritis" forum is the best place for arthritis related queries as lots of people look on there but as you look round the forum you will soon get the hang of what to post where.

    Again, welcome!

    Love Tilly xxx

    Thank you both for your welcome. Lovely to meet you too.
    I think meeting all you lovely people will give me a new lease of life as I do get very lonely sometimes.
    I am mostly house bound now although I do get out occasionally to do a little bit of shopping when I get desperate to see some other human beings so I can remember what they look like!
    Take care and thanks again for your welcome.

    I know the house-bound feeling very well, it is a trial sometimes, all of it. It is not bad here, the serious stuff is on LWA, the more light-hearted (most of the time) on CC. I hope to see you posting soon - we like new voices and experiences. I hope you have a good night and sleep well. DD

    I think this post followed the rules.
