Hello Lattreiss - sounds like life has handed you a difficult path but hopefully the RA can be brought under control. Best wishes to you!

Thanks, i think the membrane between my lower vertebrae 4&5 is slightly out of place, but it is proving to be a big problem, i am sure i'll get through this, and you/

Hello and welcome to the forum you would never want to join. Given your previous health issues it seems very unfair that you have RA on top. Wishing you well

[LATTREISS in reply to Hidden]

hey, just saying a quick hello to the new people in the RA Forum, i'm quite new to this, haven't had much done so far, only an MRI scan showing the first signs of RA and am just taking a lot of pain killers, Naproxen, sleeping tabs and anti depressants! hope the list end's there, phew.....well they are giving out NHS approved cannabis supplements in the autumn from what i have read, so i'll be first in the Queue!

Small world gets even smaller, I live in Telford, lived here practically all my life!

[LATTREISS in reply to Hidden]

Well Well, anyway i live in London now and have behere for 35 years , it' a 24/7 zone, no-one sleeps, even the tubes are running 24 hours a day now! how long have you ha RA?

[Hidden in reply to LATTREISS]

I have OA, diagnosed 2 n 1/2yrs ago, which has got worse since diagnosis.

[LATTREISS in reply to Hidden]

Hmm, this is an incurable thing right? i am up early again, don't get a lot of sleep nowadays! Have you ever been to London? Hyde Park or anything, it's a really nice place, i go there most mornings to do my wellness etc, the peaceful tranquil surroundings early in the morning tend to sort my head out ready for a busy day in the city, i am a stock broker here, work at an investment banking firm! buy. sell!!!! sort of banter......what about you?

[Hidden in reply to LATTREISS]

Yes nothing can be done for OA, just have to look after myself & stay healthy as possible, which is worse in the winter, feels like I'm standing in a block of ice all the time.

Last time I went to London was nearly 30yrs ago! I prefer the calmness of the towns & country side.

[LATTREISS in reply to Hidden]

That long, i must have been 18 year old back then! bringin the memories here, LOL!

im well traveled an intend on going away this year even if it's butlins

Fancy a day out on the the Hyde Park lake in London, i'll get you home before midnight! or the London zoo, madame tussauds

[Hidden in reply to LATTREISS]

Mmmm! Some how I don't think my other half would like the idea of that. lol!

But thankyou anyway.

[LATTREISS in reply to Hidden]

Hello - and welcome to a inspirational forum. A great place to advise , listen, support and at times vent 😊.

[Jora]

Welcome to the forum. I’m less active on it than I used to be, but it’s good to know it exists if one has a query which fellow sufferers are the most qualified to answer.

You have a lovely smile, despite the pain you have suffered for so many years.
