Hello Welsh

Lovely to receive a nice welcome here .

I have Autoimmune disease 2 of them and other issues going on too .

Nice I have found a support system to try and navigate some sense of it all.

[welsh12 in reply to Hidden]

[helenlw7]

Welcome. This is a friendly, helpful group.

[Hidden in reply to helenlw7]

That’s nice to know as there are not many around.

Finding support as a newbie is quite a task thank you for your warm welcome 🪻

[medway-lady]

I like the name it reminds me of Space Dust which I think wasn’t some dubious substance but a sort of fizzy sweet. RA is a funny old disease and perhaps Fairy Spice could be a great name for a medication too.

[Hidden in reply to KittyJ]

[Stills in reply to Hidden]

I have a long bio to read if you click on my symbol or whatever it’s called.

Adult onset Stills disease diagnosed aged 17 now 61, steroid free since mid 20s. Constant joint pain and stiffness with limited mobility and ability had been the main drawback

Hello FairySpice, what a lovely name. Welcome to the group. I'm sorry you have had to join us but glad that, given your diagnosis, you have made the decision. We are all in the same boat and help each other out in many ways. Please ask anything you want to know. Of course we can't give medical advice but we can sometimes point you in the right direction, support you emotionally, share our own stories and be a sounding board or a virtual shoulder to cry on. It will be lovely to get to know you. xx

[Hidden in reply to Sheila_G]

[Deeb1764]

welcome to the group and you will find many of us have more than one autoimmune and more so a good place to seek advice and don’t forget to calm NRAS for help too or read their publications all help on the path you are travelling 🥰

[Hidden in reply to Deeb1764]

Thank you , i did so much reaserch when I was first diagnosed which scared the life out of me so I’m just plodding on taking each day that’s thrown my way . Xx

[Deeb1764 in reply to Hidden]

Best way and google is a nightmare 😂

[PloddingOn1 in reply to Hidden]

I’m plodding on too , as you can see with my name. Welcome to the group @fairyspice, I’m sure you’ll find everyone supportive and welcoming. It can be difficult at times especially on down days but knowing that other people are living through it and doing well is really hopeful.

[HevsK]

hello and welcome, I also have RA and my list of co-morbidities gets longer every year. Always happy to chat x

[Hidden in reply to HevsK]

Oooh bless you

Yep same here - but we’re here for a reason ❤️‍🩹 xx

[Hidden in reply to HevsK]

I adore your little witchy profile picture 😉xx

[HevsK in reply to Hidden]

A witch and a fairy - we must be a team 🧙🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

[Luludean in reply to HevsK]

O !! Hevsk , so glad I am not alone !! I hate the new ( to me ) word “ co morbidities” They multiply alarmingly !

[HevsK in reply to Luludean]

They do indeed and mostly not explained either. I didn’t know I had been diagnosed with fibro until it appeared in the list!
