Hello and welcome to the club no-one wants to be in. Here you'll find lots of information and a friendly ear from those who know exactly how you feel.

hello, it’s a great forum and one to rant, be listened too or just read and pick up useful information from. NRAS are a great place to call too if worried and need help on any matter from living and working with RA.

Welcome to the club that keeps on giving. When in doubt give us a shout but remember the experts know best - or we hope they do.

Hello 7and5is12, this forum is a wonderful resource. Someone will have had the same or very similar experience as you as you'll learn to live with RA. Sometimes things just won't make sense, here you may find some clarity when 7and5is13. As many have said already, NRAS is a wonderful site for sound and helpful information.There's also the Ampersand MyArthritis app with lots of good videos.

All the best to you

Hey. This is the place to come whenever you’re feeling low, confused, knackered! I’ve had RA since i was 21. (53 now). I also have Iritis & Glaucoma. (Serious eye conditions). I’ve been having an Infusion every 6 weeks for the past 20 yrs. I wish i’d had this forum when i was diagnosed. (I was told in 1993!) The internet was in it’s infancy then. It was the library. Luckily my lovely mum was a nurse. So she was my total rock!! Anyway. Good luck with everything & you can come on here. Day or night & let all your emotions out! X
