Hi. I’m 39, from Bristol and have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia

There doesn’t seem to be any support groups here and I’m feeling pretty lonely!

Any ideas? Obviously I’ve have a google but anything that comes up seems to be really old and no longer active

Any suggestions welcome xx

Hi,

I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia too (and a fellow Pixie!) I'd be happy to chat.

Hello @MorganDM

Welcome to our online forum. I hope that members will soon respond to you! We are a friendly and supportive group.

I don't know if you have had the opportunity to explore our website but you will find a lot of information on it, and below I am posting links to two pieces of information I hope you find useful.

I hope you will keep posting and let us know how you are getting on. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Hello. I did have a look on the website but nothing in Bristol. Seems mad! Such a big place! Maybe I need to start something!! Basically just sitting in soft places drinking coffee 😂
