Hello
Just joined the group. Hello. Been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis since August 2020. Not the best time to start during a pandemic. Not yet on a pathway that is working and still on steroids, although mostly coping on a low dose, but have early onset osteoporosis just diagnosed. Eating healthy and doing yoga most days. Work full time and don’t have much energy to do much after that.

Nice to meet you. I do hope they get you on some treatment which helps calm your Arthritis down ASAP steroids are not at all good for Osteoporosis I think?
Eating healthily is good as is yoga so it sounds as if you are doing your bit there.
Yes totally the worst time for acquiring RA is it during a global pandemic!
Just shout if there's anything we can help you with
Take care

Hello @USHA_PADMINI1972
Welcome to the online community and thank you for joining us.
So you have been diagnosed with Autoimmune Inflammatory Myositis which I believe is quite rare. You have been prescribed a number of medications including steroid injections which has induced osteoporosis. You have been bed ridden for a year but you are doing daily physiotherapy. You are wanting to know if anyone here has similar problems to yourself.
Thank you for sharing so much about your own situation with us. I have to admit that this is the first time I have aver come across you condition. From what Ive read, it sounds like it can be a very painful and challenging condition to be faced with. Im sure your fellow members will be happy to chat with you about symptoms that we all have in common. Although we all have different conditions, we all have various degrees of pain in common and how we deal with this can vary.
