Hello everyone
I've been lurking here for some months and thought it was time I said Hello.
I was diagnosed in July with sero-neg RA and I'm taking Methotrexate, Folic Acid and Prednisolone. When I first saw my GP in May I had swollen and sore knuckles on one hand; by the time I saw the consultant in August nearly everything was painful and most joints were swollen (soles of my feet, toes, ankles, knees, fingers, thumbs, wrists, shoulders, and jaw!). The meds have calmed everything down and I'm not feeling too bad at the moment.
As I said, I've been lurking for a few months and in a way I feel like I sort of know a lot of you now, and you've been a wonderful source of information and inspiration, so THANK YOU. I haven't felt so alone on my journey knowing that so many others are going through the same thing. I hope, as I get to know more about RA, that I'll be able to help a few others too.
All the best,
Bea

I have a sero-negative type, psoriatic arthritis, and that over the years has led to osteo in some very useful joints. De nada, I manage and that's what it's all about. I hope to see you posting here and there very soon: I wish you well. DD
smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles
Thanks also for explaining pocket duties to me - I was a little unsure, but I'm happy to go along with anyone that needs me.
I'm looking forward to joining in other threads too and hopefully helping others in some small way.
And I love it that you all have a great sense if humour. Just what the doctor ordered.
