Hi everyone!

Kaz1971

Hi, I'm Kaz - I am currently 51 years old and I have OA, and Fibromyalgia amongst other things! I am currently going through an extremely bad OA flare. My hands in particular are a total nightmare - this is certainly not helping the fact that I have to use crutches to get around. I am hoping to get my doctor to finally let me see a rheumatologist (I was diagnosed at 26 and I've never seen one). I really hope for an improvement before February 2nd as that's a day (a Sabbat) I celebrate called Imbolc and I really want to get some cooking and cleaning done!

So I'm happy to say hi to anyone.

Do stay connected with us, as other members will share their tips and experiences with you about how to see a rheumatologist. I can see how important it is for you to get back into doing some cooking and cleaning, especially as you are looking forward to the 2nd February. I am glad you have found us.

Best wishes.
