Hello all ,
looks like the sun is out here in Kent .
I have recently been diagnosed at last with sero positive RA and now Psioratic Arthritis too .I am on Incap:(
I struggle most of the time but have spent the last 2 years as a volunteer adviser at the local CAB (I am a benefits specialist), and i am Social Policy coordinator there too . So am heavily involved with evidence gathering for the ongoing tirade of Welfare Reform and Legal aid Reform.
On MTX , Leflunomide , Pregabalin, Amitriptylne, etc etc , and hope a combination is found soon that allows me to work
Hope to get involved here aswell as the NRAS where i am a member too>:)
Love Photography when i can get out and about

Hello Rich C, it's nice to meet you. I too have PA and am on a luvverly cocktail of meds, my favourite of which I have just realised I haven't taken - I must go and do that! I am sort-of working, I am self-employed and my business is gradually decreasing as my ability to do it lessens but hey-ho, that's life with arthritis. It's good to hear that you are keeping yourself busy and I hope that can continue. Here's to the meds making a proper difference to your health and your being able to get back into the world of paid employment. I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

I'm an osteo sufferer and am waiting to see if I also have sero negative in my hands and wrists
Oh what fun we have, lol
Catch you around,
Be wellMe-Tony

Thanks for the welcome DD and tjt
hehe what gets me is that the consultants are always so sure that the next mix of drugs will work .. sometimes i wish they would leave the positive thinking to me , as i am better at it than they are hehe
Rich
Keep takin the meds .. and at the right time DD0 -
Oh believe me I usually do, but the excitement of today being my 52nd birthday affected me so I forgot.
I have yet to meet a rheumatologist (and I have met a few) who is on the same meds as me: I reckon they all take summat different (and much nicer) hence the unbounded optimism about what their wonderful medications will do for one.
