    Brilliant news!

    I'm glad all's going quite well so far. With my first pregnancy the RA just went dormant for 9 months. It's quite common apparently. No such luck with No 2 though.

    Well done!

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    I am really, really happy for you and have a few tears in my eyes cos I know it can't have been easy for you reducing your meds.
    I hope you report back frequently.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.
