Interesting information on RA that also points you to an app linked to RA research by University of Manchester who are running a study on arthritis and weather.

I just can't get into the link at the moment.

Yes just watched it , fabulous that he made a real differentiation between o/a and RA and advice on both. Yes I'll look at the app too when it's not so busy .

So pleased that he explained in easy to understand terms the difference between OA and RA. I met a former colleague a few months after I retired who asked,"has it not burnt out yet" and " you are looking well ". I explained I was now being treated and not working thinking my pain was my usual musculoskeletal pains getting worse. I met her some months later when she told me her nephew had been diagnosed with RA. I was told in detail the pain he was in and the fatigue he had. I nodded and said I understand how awful it is. I wished him well when I left. I think it may have dawned on her why I retired a few months early but can't honestly say it did.

That's interesting. About a year ago, I took part in a focus group to discuss the app. I think I made several observations regarding its accessibility as well as the features, but I can't remember what they were!

It sounds as if the one you are referring to is something different.

Sorry I can't help.

It was great that the programme made such a clear distinction between OA and RA Yippee and they mentioned the S Factor campaign to raise awareness of spotting the key 3 symptoms nras.org.uk/have-you-got-th...
