I also now have pain in the top of my neck everyday (different to pain from sitting at a desk too long or sleeping on it funny!) I was diagnosed

Tiredness - can anyone suggest ways to help with tiredness caused by rheumatoid arthritis?
My drugs are controlling the inflamation caused by RA, but I am still very tired, not able to do the amount I used to do. Any ideas other than pacing myself? Any good vitamins etc? thanks

Fatty Liver
Hello everyone. A haematologist rang me yesterday and said I have a macrocytosis with no anaemia. My red blood cells are too large. She wants further blood tests and a liver scan. She mentioned fatty liver. I am concerned as I already have a liver enzyme not working now this. Appreciate any help. Thanks

How to pass the day
Eternities Day
Dawn whispers to your sleepy ears as nature awakens to herald daybreak. Quiet colours will bless your eyes, as suns soft rays do gently entice those leaden lids to rise and see the glory of my being. Stay with me awhile and see that glowing orb in haloed radiance

Tips on testing
Hi, I have a GP appointment next Monday to request that I be tested for arthritis. Can I please get an outline of the most comprehensive tests that I can hope to get from the GP? Also, thinking ahead to the blood draw, is there a particular protocol that I should follow? Many thanks 🙏
