Webinar yesterday - link - 'Being Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis'

[Hezekiah]

I just wanted to post a link to yesterday's webinar, which I have just watched again.

I thought Dr James Galloway did a superb job, in outlining many facets of Rheumatoid, covering a huge amount of ground in a sane and sober way. He seems very knowledgeable, thoroughly prepared and at ease with his topic, and a good presenter as well.

I see that others including NorfolkBluebell have already referred to it, (she said "excellent" and I would agree). I'd also like to say that I think it is suitable for any RD sufferer as it covers the ground so well.

It's light on pain and also drug treatments, except for Methotrexate.

Yes it was a good clear introduction to Rheumatoid Arthritis.

For the newly diagnosed he gave honest comments on diet & how the best way forward is to start on the drugs prescribed by your rheumatologist as soon as possible.

I believe the next Webinard is on 4 April.... It is well worth registering to watch it.

Thanks so much for posting this link. Started watching a bit of it and will continue watching the rest when I am not so tired. Already feeling so much better informed. Really interesting chat about mental health and diagnosis. I am fairly newly diagnosed 8 months into diagnosis and completely relate about the feelings of anxiety and depression. I am not sure I am clinically depressed but certainly more anxious and emotional. Fab news that this is likely to improve within a year is being diagnosed. Thank you so much for sharing the link! x
