I would just like to say a massive thank you to you all on here. After reading so many of the blogs on here, I have learnt so much about RA and how to handle it, so many of you are so positive and you have helped me to realise it really isn't the end of the world.
From what I have read from you all, it is about pacing myself and realising that trying to do it all like I used to is just plain daft because it just messess me up for the next day.
You have made me also realise that I am not on my own and I feel like I have made lots of new friends and because we all have RA in common you will know how I feel. I feel so much less isolated and for that, thank you all so much x
It's a great place for support and, as you have found, a family of people sharing similar experiences. The NRAS forum is also packed full of information coupled with friendly people. 
Hi Karen. This is fantastic. I too have learnt so much from this site and the NRAS site.
I was only diagnosed last October but feel I have come so far since then and mainly thanks to what I learned on here It is good isn't it. You are amongst friends and like minded people, unfortunately brought together by RA but this is such a positive.
So glad it has been helpful to you.
Take care
Julie xx
