Hi all. Just joined today. Wishing everyone well, whatever your condition. Looking forward to learning from others and contributing whenever I can help, particularly with the conditions I have been blessed with!

Hello GuilePoint and welcome.

You couldn’t have joined a better site. I’ve been here a few years and people are delightful and knowledgeable .

Look forward to hearing about your ‘blessed’ conditions and hearing more from you

Marie

Thanks Kitty!

Just finding my way around the site! I’m Nicola, aged 54. Been filling in my profile details/conditions. Depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, IBS, irritable bladder, TMJ dysfunction, high blood pressure, COPD. None of them life threatening, but the whole package could be pretty miserable and debilitating if it wasn’t for medication and positivity. With the exception of the last two, I’ve had the other things for much of my adult life.

Well, that sounded like a miserable intro didn’t it 😂

Welcome!

[charisma in reply to GuilePoint]

Sounds like a nasty load!

Welcome on board. You might find more suitable responses re health on other communities in HealthUnlocked though, as you don’t seem to have RA.

NRAS is for rheumatoid diseases so responses will be from the experiences of those who are suffering from them.

Wishing you all the best as you strive to survive it all!

[GuilePoint in reply to charisma]

Thanks Charisma. A few people have pointed me in the right direction now - I seem to have ended up here by accident!

[Mmrr in reply to GuilePoint]

I'm sorry to hear of all your issues, this forum is for people with rheumatoid disease and associated problems. I'm not sure if you will get the insight into the issues you have ?

Do you have RD ?

[GuilePoint in reply to Mmrr]

Thanks Mmrr. I seem to have found myself in the wrong place by accident 😂. I’m now searching the appropriate groups. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply

[Zip1]

Welcome. We all find this forum invaluable, I’m sure you will too!

[Mmrr]

Welcome

Hello and welcome, it’s a super site, everyone is so caring and it’s a reciprocal thing....we give support and sometimes need to too 🙄

Hope today is a good day for everyone. Lx

Hiya Nicola. Whilst I'd ordinarily welcome a new member I'm not sure this site would be of much help to you. Not sure if you're aware but this is the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society support site, set up for those with Rheumatoid conditions & those with similar autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately there isn't a single Healthunlocked site for the conditions you unfortunately have so I can only suggest you become a member of the following

healthunlocked.com/anxiety-... healthunlocked.com/fibromya... healthunlocked.com/theibsne... healthunlocked.com/blood-pr... healthunlocked.com/blf

I'm afraid there isn't a dedicated TMJ dysfunction site but maybe some of the members over at the Pain Concern site may have it & will be able to relate healthunlocked.com/painconcern

I hope you're able to manage your multiple issues, you've certainly been dealt quite a lot to cope with.

[GuilePoint in reply to nomoreheels]

Hi! Thankyou so much. I didn’t realise I was on the RA group and no, you’re absolutely correct, I don’t have RA. Forgive a newbie finding my way around 😂. Thanks for your trouble in signposting me to more appropriate sites - I really appreciate it!

[KittyJ in reply to GuilePoint]

You’re not the first 😁I hope you find a group for you.

[nomoreheels in reply to GuilePoint]

No probs. I hope you find each welcoming & you're able to manage your conditions with the experience they'll doubtless share.

[Iluvgardening]

Welcome to the group. Lots of great people with lots of good information 😊
