5 day break but did 6 km today
Its not been the best week, nor the worst either. The arthritis flare up has really knocked the stuffing out of me and the weather has been miserable. I can cope with one or the other but both together just not conducive to running and so I have been giving myself the license not to run, but still

Misleading the desperate
It's disgusting that there are people who offer instant relief from the debilitating conditions such as arthritis,.We are desperate for relief from the pain we go through each and every day.To try to make money from our suffering is beyond dishonest,belief and wrong.

Self diagnosis of possible aphasia. I’m new to this community.
Just recovering from two migraines today, the secon one had similar symptoms to aphasia which I have had before. I have read that this could be linked to Fybromyalgia. My GP had previously given me a provisional diagnosis of Polymyalgia and then possibly Fybromyalgia, but I saw the Rheumatologist two

Confused
Hi. My doctor has ordered lupus anticoagulant and antiphospholipid antibody blood tests. I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. When I asked why I was being tested she said it was to rule out APS. I am really confused as to why she thinks I could have this syndrome. I am in my early 20s, never

2nd session of week 1
Just finished my 2nd session .... was tough but got on with it .... not sure if I'm 'cheating' by doing it on my treadmill at home .... but have osteoarthritis in my knees & find the treadmill is lessening the pain ! I guess the fact I'm attempting this challenge is enough .... I'm feeling proud of myself
