Newly Diagnosed

NicolaS

Just recently been diagnosed with RA. Wanted to join to find out more and what to expect on this new journey in my life.

Hoping to keep active as much as I can but know this might change.

Always positive.

Welcome to the forum, @NicolaS

I see that you have been given a recent diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis and are looking for information on the condition.

Here are some links to our website:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/conditions/rheumatoid-arthritis/

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/managing-symptoms/managing-your-pain/

There are many different experiences you will find recounted on the forum. My own experience based on 40 odd years that I have had the condition is that the way you approach it is all important. Never regret the things you may not be able to do but rejoice in the things you can.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
