Anyone else with RA?

Orchid_01

Hello. I am currently off work with a flare up of RA and it’s been a 4 month long test of patience and resilience. I never realised something could drag me through such a vast array of ups and downs, pain and exhaustion like it. Top that off with work wanting to know where I see my future. I don’t even know what the next day will bring.

Hi@Orchid_01

Welcome to the on line community,so sorry you are going through a flare up with yout Rhumatoid Arthritis it is as you say needs a lot of patience and resilience to get through it and as you have been off work for 4 months it must be a real test of your resilience.

So glad you have found us its good to chat and thats what we do on our forums saying what we feel and seeking answers really. I am surprised your work wants you to decide what you want for the future. have you got health welfare in your work place so you can talk to some one work related?

Here is a link thay may help in some way.

Take care and do go on our forums and chat to others they all have some form of arthritis so understand where you are coming from

All the best Christine
