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.

    Hi @angelversusdevil

    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
