Hi Andy - welcome to NRAS HU the best place to be for any RA sufferer I think you'll find! Stay around and communicate your ups and downs and advise and be advised. Oh I sound like a horrible jingle sorry! Tilda x

Hi Andy! I am also new to RA and to this site which i must say I have found very friendly, informative and very useful in answering any queries I have just by reading all the various blogs. I haven't done much blogging myself but I do enjoy reading them, I am sure you will enjoy the site with like minded understanding people.

Hi Andy,

Welcome to the group, good for you going to exercise classes, I've just starting swimming and am really enjoying it, hard work too but worth the effort.

Hope to hear more from you in the future.

Hi Andy. Thank goodness another bloke on here. I know RA affects more ladies than men but every RA support website seems to be totally dominated by the fairer sex. Sorry no sleight on the ladies here, nor allusions to shades of grey when refering to 'dominating'. Just glad to see you Andy.

to be honest ,, i dont mind been in a room full of lovely ladies .. :)

but what ever you do,, dont get them all started about fifty shades of grey ... then i will need some male support .. : (
