I was 38 years old when I diagnosed as a RA patient in 2004. My sickness started in 2002, I was referred to Ealing Hospital cause of pain in the body. They gave me tramadol 50mg three times a day to control the pain but couldn’t find the cause of the pain. In 2004 I was transferred to Charing Cross hospital where I got help for the medications but RA tired my body. I had my right hip replacement in 2014, left hand wrist operation and had left foot four toe’s operation. But still fighting with RA and I am working in the GP’s surgery as a receptionist.
