    Oooooh jilly! :lol: I am celebrating by injecting methotrexate - woo-hoo!

    Is a World Arthritis Day really necessary? For a select ten million or so in the UK every flaming day is an arthritis day, today is no different from yesterday or tomorrow. I will carry on doing my bit to inform and educate those around me, wherever I meet them, as to what this malarkey entails. DD

    Yeah, me too DD... It's ridiculous how so many folks think arthritis is just a few aches and pains... I know way too many people like that :roll:

    Love it, jillyb1! I have my 'dropsy' days too. The floor can be littered when Mr SW gets home.

    I don't think it's possible to explain arthritis and it's effects ; people will always have ideas fixed in their minds and will still think the usual ~ you're too young ~ it doesn't hurt that much ~ I had that and it's better now ~ it's all mind over matter ~ don't dwell on it and it'll go ....etc etc ! Sadly only those who live with it or care for and about those who suffer it are able to understand . Jillyb
