Dear all

I recently joined this forum, and I have to say, it's fab.
I'm 37 and have psoratic arthritis, recently diagnosed. Reading many of the chats I think you're all marvelous x The support you give each other is wonderful. As you all know, it can be scary when you haven't anyone to speak to you that's going through the same thing, but you can here.
I think you're all doing a fab job xx

I'll keep reading the posts, and hopefully be able to advise now and then.
Sleep well my new internet family!!

Shona :grin:

    I love the idea of an 'internet family', Shona. It's quite apt. There are a lot of us, we do have the odd squabble but, when the chips are down, we try to look after each other.

    You don't have to advise people though some of us can't resist, self included. :roll: The really vital ones are those who dish out kindness and compassion and there are a lot of good people on here who do just that. They're worth their weight in ...er....bytes??? Sleep tight yourself too.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi lovemypjs, wow, I LOVE the name! (There are days when I don't remove mine, I don't see the point as I will only be putting them back on later.) I'm like the Queen as I now have two birthdays, my recorded one and my AC one. (22.4.10). This is a grand place, the help, support and encouragement from those who know what it is all like is wonderful and worth its weight in diamonds, gold and platinum.

    I too have PA (with some OA thrown in as a result of the joint damage) but I am lucky in that the P part is rarely active: I put that down to the sulphasalazine, I've been taking that for years. I hope you are having a reasonable day today and I wish you well. DD
