Just wanted to say hi to everyone.

Hi,

I'm nai,

Been struggling with arthritus for about 6 years. It can be very lonely suffering on your own. Only a person who is suffering the same pain as u ,can truly understand wat u r going through.

Thanks for listening x

    Hi Nai @Kindness

    Welcome to the Versus Arthritis online community you do not need to feel lonely now you have found us.

    I rather like your username very apt.

    You are very right it isn't easy for people who are not living with Arthritis to understand just what it is like having a long-term condition like this. You don't say what form of Arthritis you have, but I see you have had it for 6 years. I am going to attach a link about managing your symptoms for you to read while you wait for someone to come along to chat:

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

    Now that you've introduced yourself do come along in and join in one of the ongoing threads. The most popular category is usually Living with Arthritis.

    I look forward to reading your posts in future.

    Best wishes

    Ellen.

    Hi Nai@Kindness,

    I agree, it really does feel as though you’re alone, that’s why I joined this group, which has truly helped me find answers to questions and just support and knowing I’m not on my own.

    I have arthritis in both hips, but mainly in my right. X
