Hi Vikki

I'm pretty new here too but I have to say , I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon the forum. There are really nice, warm folk here who seem to have a wealth of experience and are super helpful.

I hope you can find what you need here.

Hi Vikki, I was on Methotrexate for the first 6 months, but didn't get on with that very well, but now I'm on Hydroxychloroxine and Sulphasalazine..which has given me a huge amount of my mojo back!... Positive thinking (it's so easy to slip into depression with this) and keeping as active as possible helps. It sounds like you are doing o.k. So glad to have this fab site to help .xx

Welcome to the club Vikki, you'll find a good spread of people here with lots of help and understanding. Have you looked at the NRAS website and all the information on there? Their helpline staff are very friendly, understanding and helpful. Hope your journey won't be too bumpy. Keep in touch. All the very best.

Hi Vikki

Fairly new myself. Welcome! It's a useful place. Folks understand here, where loved ones might not necessarily.
