hello

cat75

i've recently been diagnosed with RA about 3 and a half months ago, i have been put on methotrexate (2 months ago) and diclofenic and seem to be doing well on them. i just wanted to say i've been following the forum for a while and have enjoyed reading the posts and you all seem like a really nice bunch if a little mad (in a good way). lol.

Greeting Cat,

Yes there is plenty of insanity around here. But it is a good way of dealing with the various problems we all have. Everyone on here are fantastic people and I know you will feel very at home here.

Shall look forward to seeing you round the forum.

Hi Cat
Welcome to the forum.We have a great amount of knowledge gained from personel experience.Yes we can be a bit mad at times,but that can be great therapy.
I also have RA (and OA) and also am on methotrexate and diclofenac.They have given good control for some years...............

Hello Cat and welcome from me too.

To coin a phrase "you don't have to be mad to post here but it certainly helps "

Glad the mtx and Diclo are helping.

Love Tilly (another RA'er) xxx
