Hi everyone I'm Emma I got diagnosed with RA a year ago.
I was lucky it was caught before any longterm damage was done although this winter is becoming the worst my RA has been mainly for the fatigue. Thought it would be good to talk to people with the same/similar experiences.

    Hi milly77, it's nice to meet you but I am sorry you had to find us. I have PA (like RA but with the added benefit of rare bouts of psoriasis) and also struggle with tiredness: I had a snooze this afternoon but am now yawning my head off again - I also have a sore throat so that ain't helping matters. The LWA forum (living with arthritis) is for all matters related to drugs/doctors/treatments etc, CC (chit-chat) is more informal but all the forums do what they say on the tin! More people are to be found on those two, so post away and we will do our best to answer any queries and/or problems. DD

    Hi Milly

    A warm welcome from me. :)

    This is a very nice site to be on there are many of us that have RA so you are not alone. Yes fatigue is part of having RA but we must try and carry on.

    Why don't you pop in to Val's Cafe meet some of the girls have a natter over a cuppa. That is on Chit Chat.

    The LWA is when you have questions you will get a bigger responce there.

    Well it is nice to have you on board see you around

    Love Trish xxxx
