Hi,

As the subject says, I'm new but old. What I really mean is I've not been reading much recently on the forum so I'd forgotten my user name etc. I'm back now and will be catching up full time. x

    Hi,

    My name is Dorothy, I have had OA and RA for about 20 years. I am on Enbrel and Plaquenil (can't spell the long version), along with the usual painkillers. I also have an under active thyroid and high BP. (Think that's enough for now).
    As I said, I have been out of circulation for a while so I've a lot of reading and catching up to do. I'm always ready for any suggestions and tips.
    I don't know how the rest of you have coped with the Winter, it's been so wet. I can't wait for Spring/Summer. I always seem to feel better when the sun shines. D x

    Hello again :D Thanks for the info. I have RA and OA too.

    If you want tips on all sorts of areas you could try the 'Managing Arthritis' tab above. If you've been awol for a while you probably missed the forum upgrade and that section in particular is so much better, more comprehensive and up to date than before.

    Plus, of course, there's us :lol:

    Hello, it's nice to meet you again! I have PsA, OA and fibromyalgia and take a triple therapy for the PsA. I have had Enbrel in the past but it didn't agree with me so now it's humira, injected meth and sulph tablets. I think we've all struggled with the winter weather, the damp and / or the cold is never helpful. I hope you have been looking around the forum but, as Barabara wisely said, there's no need to catch up because it's probably much as it ever was. I wish you well. DD
