Hi NRAS is the best forum for Rheumatoid arthritis, I've had RA for just 2 years, so many adjustments to life style, it's hard to come to terms with it for sure...I hope the medication you are on is bringing it under control.. I'm on Sulphasalazine and Hydrochloroxine and touch wood have a semblance of my life back.

Take care,

Kate

Work for as long as you can. I have always worked full time but the last 6 years only part time. Although painful at rimes it has kept me mobile. I feel sure i would be in a wheelchair now if i hadn't persisted to work. The consultant don't tell you of the emotional turmoil we all go through including the highs and lows. Rest assured "You Are Never Alone". I wish you well regardless xxxx
