Just wanted to let all you lovely people know how grateful I am that I found this site.

I went to see my Dr at local surgery on Tues. I got upset because I am so fed up of being in pain & feeling tired. Keep trying new Medication & having bad side effects but will be starting Humira on 29th Dec.

He asked if I would like to see a counsellor ( I declined as Im a qualified counsellor - none practicing now) but I did say "its ok Im a member of a wonderful RA site and the people are so helful & understanding, I have learnt a lot about the disease since I joimed". He was quite happy & impressed with my reply.

So just to say thank you to everyone for your help & knowledge & understanding. X.

What a lovely post. I also mentioned the site to my Rheumy a while ago, she knew about it (she has had NRAS posters on her wall at times) & had a look at it when another patient mentioned it. She was impressed generally & remarked it seemed one of the better forums.

My rheumy nurse recommended this site to me when I went for my first appointment

The support given here is wonderful, we all help each other, so many postings have made me consider other options and expanded my over all grap of the disease.

Blessings
