Welcome Ranjmcl, I hope you enjoy being here. Having being diagnosed a little while & tried different meds you'll have lots to share I guess! This is an excellent place for support, experience & advice especially if like me you don't have any personal contact with others with the disease. :)

Thanks. Yes I don't really know many RA patients. It's sometimes scary when something happens and not site why.

Well at least now you've found us you can ask if anyone has had the same happen whenever anything you're not sure of happens from now on. We'll help if we can, but we obviously can't give medical advice, we're not qualified & don't know your medical history.

Thank you. It's nice to hear from people who are going through the same thing. Medical help is all well-and-good but personal experience is worth a lot Thanks again

Welcome Ranjmcl

Nice to see you on here.

Hope your RA isn't giving you too much trouble at the moment?

Is everything under control?

Hi, i'm 6 years this month and have tried all the different drugs and treatment variations, which of course, effected me in lots of different ways, but am now receiving IV infusions which seem to really help so far, and welcome, this forum is a reallly great place to find support, as there are loads of people who are going through similar journey's to you. The NRAS website is also really helpful, as they can also offer amazing support.
