Hi,

Just thought I'd say hi to everyone! I'm 32 years old and got diagnosed 10 years ago whilst at uni. I dont know anyone with RA or similiar and find it quite hard to talk about so here goes!

Could really do with a little support and hope just knowing I'm not alone will really help. Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Nix

    Hi Nixxy

    Welcome to the forum. You now know lots of people with RA and you can talk to us anytime you want. The people on here are fab. I was diagnosed with RA last year -they have helped me through a horrible time and allowed me to generally moan and whinge about anything that has been bothering me.

    I can fully understand the feelings of isolation and not having anyone to talk to about your worries and concerns - this is the place to be.

    Look forward to getting to know you.

    Thanks Jan!

    I've started my day with a smile now!

    Hope to chat to you at some point and hope the next steps in your journey aren't too painful, literally and figuratively!

    Nix :D

    Hello Nix and welcome from me too!

    Like you I had never joined a forum before and had felt very on my own with my RA for many years before I found the AC forum and plucked up courage to join. As you have probably sussed, the Living with Arthritis (LWA) and Chit-Chat forums are the busiest and posts on either of those will be seen by more people. Please feel free to join in anywhere - we are a friendly bunch and you will be made very welcome.

    Tillyxxx

    Hi Dazztee,

    Talking is good, even better when people understand. After 10 years I hope there's a lot that I understand by now! Please do get in touch if you'd like to chat, you can always pm me.
