Hello and welcome from me, too. I've had RA for years. Mine started in my hands too. It often does. How can we help? Just fire away if you have any questionsIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hello, I have psoriatic arthritis but the meds I take are the same as the ones used for the other kinds. They 'work' in that they control disease activity but for me that's as far as it goes. I am positive that the sooner one is diagnosed and begins the meds the better the outcome in many ways could be. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Welcome to the RA club. Other ailments are available too. Mine started in my big toe joint and gout was first diagnosed until a blood test confirmed sero positive erosive RA. Must be about 14 years ago. Find out all you can about the disease. Don’t compare as we all have it differently. Don’t let it win. You are in control. Good luck.0
