Members' magazine NewsWire published this week

[Fran_Benson]

If you are a member of the charity you should have received your copy of the members' magazine this week. (If you opt to receive by post, it may still be on the way, but the digital version was emailed out on Tuesday.)

Hope you like the new look and find the articles helpful - there's lots in this edition as we've increased it by four pages. There's a super useful article on tapering steroids (thank you to PMRPro for writing that), Dr Sarah Mackie answers a members question, latest research, a member's experience of Tocilizumab...and much more.

If you're not a member of the charity, but would like to find out more, please see our website pmrgca.co.uk/content/about-... or get in touch with me either below in a comment or via chat.

It looks great, bright and inviting

[Mstiles]

Looks great, I’m in the US but would love to join and get a copy, I think it would be great to show my doctor.

If I join now will I receive this copy?

[Fran_Benson Partner in reply to Mstiles]

Hi Mstiles, yes if you join now I'll send you a link to this copy (which you can download for your doctor if you want), plus details for our online AGM and Members' Day on 5th September if you'd like to attend that. (It's only available to members so you will need a membership number.)

[Fran_Benson Partner in reply to Gossiplady]

Hi Gossiplady, if you become a member you will receive a digital copy of the current version (winter) and then you can choose how you receive it thereafter - either hard copy in the post (if you are UK based) or email.

[90planetree]

Hi Fran Benson I haven't sent you a recent message about the current magazine (not 90planetree) 3 hours ago! It looks like its Gossiplady? Thanks.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to 90planetree]

If you look at a reply it says who it is directed at next to the name of the author.

[90planetree in reply to PMRpro]

Thank you PMR pro, I couldn't understand why the "2-hours" post was mixed up with the old posts!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to 90planetree]

Because of the way HU works - and conversations develop, just like in real life so there are interjections.

[Fran_Benson Partner in reply to 90planetree]

Sorry for the confusion 90planetree, I nipped in to reply to gossiplady earlier and when I'd done that, I looked up and saw your message and thought I'd sort two questions out in one visit without noticing that yours was an old message.

[90planetree]

Oh that's fine Fran, all sorted!
