Hi Smokie x;)
Welcome to the forum. I am sorry that you have been diagnosed with arthritis. As you say, at least you have had confirmation. As you shall be seeing a rheumy do you have RA? If so a Rheumy will be much more knowledgeable than your gp in how to treat your symptoms. You are usually given the name of a rheumy nurse too that you can call inbetween rheumy appointments should you need to do so. I have OA but have read what other forum members do when diagnosed with RA.
Why not post on the Living with Arthritis forum? More people hang out there as well as the ChitChat zone. This is more of an introductory forum so peeps do not look in here quite so often.
Look forward to seeing you name around the forum, x;)
