That's really great! I am learning about RA and that we are kinda similar in one way or another. Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi Shamrox!

I read your info and see you have much to contend with already, as if RA on its own is not enough to bear. It might be tricky to combine treatments of various conditions with success.

Are you in the UK? Asking as National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) is UK based and NHS info and treatment might vary considerably from that of eg USA.

Hey charisma! Ya I'm in the usa. I live in west Michigan. All of this info I am getting is beyond belief. I thought it would be hard to find a few people with RA. Happy to be here.

Everyone is different, these are their ways of dealing with issues and problems when they happen. What works for one may or may not work for others. Dont be afraid or worried, doctors can help a great deal, reach out for ideas and advise is best i can say. Hope it all works ok. Keep strong, it takes time, good luck xx

Hiya Shamrox, welcome. I hope you find it helpful being here with us. You'll soon learn to navigate but if you have any problems just ask, we'll help you along.

Just something to consider, whilst we do have quite a few members from the US (& elsewhere) & welcome them happily, we do share a common bond after all, some guidelines & med brand names may differ from those here in the UK so it may be helpful if asking specific advice that you include you're not UK based, just so we're aware & can give correct advice that's all.

Hope to see more of you now you’ve introduced yourself! 😊
