Hello @Gill1970 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that that will be your experience as well.
I understand that you have arthritis and are looking for people to talk to. The online community is a great way of connecting with other people who have arthritis and you can search the community to find people who have similar problems, e.g. osteoarthritis in your hands. Our website also has a lot of useful information and I would recommend having a look around. It contains a lot of useful information about arthritis, treatments, hints and tiops and some general chat. As an example
There are also some local groups throughout the country, I've done a search on Whitby and whilst there isn't one there there are some local(ish) groups
Please do keep posting and join some chats and I am sure that others will connect with you to share their support and experiences as well.
With very best wishes
Peter

Hi @Gill1970
Well done finding the online community, it is a real help all round. I use it to keep up with my friends and to have info/advice for myself - also to support others, it's surprising how a little word of sympathy or problem solving helps. I also go to chit chat quite a bit to see what is going on there, for me it's gardening and levity mostly.
So do jump in, there are lots of places to post - once you start it will get easier

Hi there, you are not alone. There are many people in the same position. I have OA of the hip and have felt very low at times. But being negative doesn't help. Keep talking and you will find the others that are able to help. Good luck.
