Morning! I am from Thailand. I has a family member has a Rheumatoid, my mom and my sister. ( my mom now she can’t walk eat well can’t move or do anything because she didn’t go to treatment from start) I am 51 years in next 2 weeks. I am a artist. I am get Rheumatoid 3 years ago after get vaccine covid. I am trying to tell GP to treatment but it’s a long line in uk after I move to Wales I can meet a real doctor and I feel happy again and have a happy tear. I have a pain all my body so long time in 2 years and live with fear, I will be like my mother! I have a bad dream every night. Can’t have a job, life and feel lost. I hope after treatment I can come back to my life again

I'm sorry to hear about your mum, it must be very distressing for her and for you and your sister. I hope you get your appointment soon and that things improve greatly for you. That's a lovely drawing, you are very talented. 😊

What a stunning drawing of a beautiful cat! I hope that the treatment you are given helps you to manage your pain. I think most of the treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis can take a while to start working, so try to be patient if you possibly can. Good luck!

You have a wonderful gift , you’re very good at your drawings . Your cat looks like my cat that got ill and had to be put to sleep. I miss my cat. …. I am wishing you all the best with your moving and as you say you will get a new doctor. Is your mum moving with you ? Love to you both.

Hello. It’s me again. I do not have a cat now. She died last year of nose cancer . I do have two poodles. Or I suppose I could try and send a picture of lily cat when she was alive.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I’m sorry to hear of your struggles and I’m sure with the right treatment plan that things will improve for you very soon.

I live ten minutes away from Holywell. That drawing is beautiful you should be so very proud.

I am under Dr Bawendi who works out of the Wrexham Maelor hospital and he has been amazing. Not sure if he may work out of Bodelwyddan too, but he does do a clinic at Deeside Community Hospital which is local to me. The rheumy nurses are brilliant too.

I was diagnosed two years ago I’m 50 in March and it has taken me almost two years to find the right medication and although I am now on Biological injections, it is early days and my joints are still very sore. I’m a month in so will give it six months and hope to see improvements.

Take care and keep smiling ☺️

Hi.. nice to meet you here.

Thank you for your kind. My name is Poh, I am from Thailand. I'm just start take Hydroxychloroquine 3 days ago because i must back to Thailand in next 2 weeks, to visit my mom for 3 months. The doctors tell me this drug just help me in 3 months and after i come back next years i will have full treatment because the new drug must meet doctor every 2 week. I wait to meet the Doctor 2 years time and i in pain so long and think about my mom get it, it's make me feel very down and want to die all the time. Now i want to fight it again after meet a doctor and have hope not to be like my mom.

I have the doctor at Bodelwyddan. They are very good too, give me a lot of advice and many of book to read and understand want i must to do. This is a first time a have hope and my happiness come back.

tack care and keep in touch.

Fight together🥰

Hello Poh. There are a lot of treatments for rheumatoid arthritis. If the first treatment doesn't work for you then keep on trying with your doctors help and hopefully you will find a treatment that works for you. My mother and grandmother both had rheumatoid arthritis and I started with it when I was in my late thirties. My mother and grandmother were much worse than I am because there weren't many treatments in their day. In my case, thanks to various medications available now, I was able to continue working and I'm now 68. I'm not saying it's been easy but I'm still walking. Good luck and don't give up.
