My GP has advised me to tell my Rheumatologist and Respiratory Consultant on Thursday that I am not prepared to live like I am living due to my RA and to tell them that i am willing to try Biological Agents knowing that this could make my lungs worse and unless they come up with an alternative they should listen to me, The last six weeks have been a total nightmare constant flare ups unbelievable pain 24/7 and the worse part is watching the ones that matter to me are suffering with me, mattcass

My cousin has this and he's been through hell the last 8 years too. He's working again now and seems to be doing alright.

You sound like your really at the end of your tether Mattcass. Constant pain, wears you and everyone around you down. I hope they find something better for you. xx

I am sorry you are in such pain Matt. It is very debilitating isn't it? I hope they can find a better treatment for you and that it helps. Keep fighting and stay strong x

Good luck with your consultants tomorrow and I do hope they listen to you and try to help your situation - no-one can function when they're in such high levels of pain. Keep pushing till you get what you need xx

I hope it all goes well for you. Pain is not pleasant by it nature. But everyone has to take a step they may not want to to get relief.

Good Luck
