Hi, new on here.

Iain2

I’ve had problems with Gout & Osteoarthritis for a number of years. Just recently I attended the Rheumatologist to rule out Rheumatoid arthritis but, she is now sending me for an MRI on my feet, ankles and hands, as she’s 95% certain I have Psoriatic arthritis. Apparently she thinks it was passed down from my mother who had Psoriasis. But, I’m going to sign up for the ‘walk to world arthritis day in October.

Hoping everyone on here has an amazing day.

Thank you Poppyjane.

A wee quote I picked up a couple of years back, can’t remember from where but, “ I may have arthritis but, arthritis doesn’t have me “. Some mornings you get up and think it’s going to be rough today, coffee and a couple of painkillers and, bring it on🤣
