Hello

hello @Mother1 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that that will be your experience as well.

I understand that you have osteoarthritis and wish to chat to others. You are in the right place. You may find that more people will connect with you if you say how it affects you, e.g. arthritis of the hand, but only share what you feel comfortable with. There are also areas just for general chat like Val's Café. Can I also suggest that you have a look at our website? It contains a lot of useful information such as types of arthritis, treatments as well as hints and tips. I've put a couple of examples below

Please keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and I am sure that others will connect with you to share their thoughts and experiences as well.

With very best wishes

Peter (moderator)
