    Hi @GalaxyA12

    To answer your question, "Stuff That Works" is not owned or affiliated to Versus Arthritis in any way.. Given that it is a "crowd-sourced" driven site, any advice or suggested "solutions" need to be treated very carefully and checked with your GP / rheumatology consultant before trying out.


    You say " i keep being directed to this "Stuff" site when i try to get into Versus Arthritis site".

    I cannot find any links from Versus Arthritis web site nor the Online Community to the site. I suggest this may be appearing in your search results as a consequence of visiting their site and/or accepting cookies that will direct you to them. It may well be worth your while clearing your browser cache and cookies if you wish to stop seeing these in your search results.

    Best wishes

    There are "stuff that works" sites for a whole host of medical conditions. "Jack of all trades, master of none" springs to mind. I'd be highly suspicious of a site that isn't guided by best medical practice (which VA is). It strikes me as abeing click-bait and a hub for poorly informed anecdotes. I've avoided them.

    The issue may be what search terms the person is using and hence what the results are? I suggest using different terms and once you find this site, bookmark it.

    its a grin, honest!
