Many thanks I do hope that I can get a lot from here as I live alone and spend a lot of time in doors.

Hello and welcome! I'm a new-ish member myself and I wish I'd known about this site when I was diagnosed about 2 years ago! It's so much easier if you know you're not the only one having to deal with all this!

This is what I am hoping to get out of this as well.

HEllo, welcome - sorry you have to be here though! We spend a lot of time talking about our treatment, what we're on and so forth. I've learned a lot especially the kind of questions it would be helpful to ask. It can be reassuring to hear from people in similar positions to you. And we fool around and try to cheer one another up!

[manwithnoname in reply to cathie]

Sounds like I've found the right place then I need cheering up I get so depressed some days.

[sylvi in reply to manwithnoname]

Well you will get cheered up here as though we all have ra,we have a wicked sense of humour as well. Sometimes the humour is the only thing that keeps us going,so welcome and we all look forward to hearing more about your life.xx

Welcome

Im fairly new here too. Diagnosed April 2012 but ra started the year before yet still not on meds that work.

This really is a lovely site to join, though not under best circumstances, everyone here is so helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and we also have fun along the way.

[manwithnoname in reply to dtech]

No not rarely but I just thought of it as a pen name.

[Neonkitty]

Hi MWNN - hope you get the help and support you need from your rheumatology team and goes without saying how helpful people are here! I am a newbie to the site but not to RA, and have been given wonderful support and encouragement. They are really nice folks here
