Hi Handydebs, welcome to this friendly forum, I hope you find some links with posts on here to help you. You can also ring the helpline on here for information and chatting to them should also help. Maybe contact your GP to see if there are any suitable gentle exercise classes where you can also meet people, good luck x

Hi Debbie and welcome to the site. I came across this site by chance as well this time last year and have found it to be of great support. Hopefully you will too! Great bunch of folk on here.

Thank you for the welcome..its really great to know others understand how I feel..I don't feel isolated anymore.

Thank you.

Hi Debbie, welcome to the group. I've made some lovely friends on here over the years. I dip in and out depending on how life is going at the time. Nice to hear from you. Paula x

Hiya & welcome to us here Handydebs. I hope you'll find it helpful, I'm sorry you're feeling so isolated, hopefully you won't so much now you've found us. We're a friendly bunch who each understand how it is to live with RD (many of us here choose to call it Rheumatoid Disease, RA is often confused with OA). So join in, we discuss all sorts, there's not much we haven't covered, well I don't recall anything being censored!

Hope to see you around. 🙂

Welcome Debbie!! This disease is a pain in the arse eh? You can say goodbye to isolation as you now belong to a caring, supportive group. We all need new friends.
