Hi jaylows,

Welcome, I’m sure you’ll find people on this website who suffer from the same illness as you do. I live in the north east of Scotland too. I’m a member of a Facebook group called Affa Sair where chronic pain sufferers chat and support each other. We have a monthly meeting in Elgin if you and your wife are interested, check us out.

Hi NanaFifi

Thank you very much for your reply, we live in Aberdeen, the pain for me is not so bad now it was worse in my 30s I am 61 now, I take a Humira injection every 2 weeks, my wife has lost most of her mobility and needs a wheelchair, we have a relative that suffers from Lupus and know how problematic the condition can be, Kind regards
