Life with RA

Danax

Hello

I was diagnosed with RA when I was 5. I am currently 29. At the moment because of the disease I use a wheelchair and I am without treatment. I am from Chile and I speak Spanish. I was with mtx for years but only this has affected my body and my mood. I need a guide to start some treatment here. I don't want to go back to mtx.

Thanks to let me part of the community

Hi @Danax

Welcome to the online community so glad you have reached us.You will find the forums very friendly and understanding and helpful.

You say you have had RA from childhood and have been on mtx .First of all have you registered with a GP in Uk because they will refer you to a RA specialist who will look at your case history and will then try to treat you with the help of an RA nurse.
