Hello everyone.I am new to this so please bear with me. I am 68 years old and up until 12 a year ago was very fit. It has taken the doctor 12 months to diagnose RA - I thought someone had a voodoo doll and was sticking pins in me!! I am now just grateful that I don't have enemies!! I have a lot of questions that I need to ask but I'll leave them for now. I look forward to joining in the duiscussions.

    Hello Lancslass43 and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry you needed to find us but I can assure you that, if you have arthritis, this is a good place to have it :D

    Most people use the Living With Arthritis and Chit Chat forums most. We are a friendly lot so join in on any of the threads or, if you have any questions, just start a new one. I hope to see you around.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hello lancslass43, welcome to the club. I hava PsA (psoriatic arthritis) which has led to OA - pleasant it is not. There are many RAers on here so you are in good company, but we all know how rough it can be. The condition is tough, the meds can be difficult, the tiredness and pain is wearing (if not exhausting) but you will find support and encouragement. I look forward to seeing your name here and there and I wish you well. DD
    Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben
