Occupational Therapy
Hi everyone, my 11 year old was diagnosed with ADHD six years ago. I am just wondering for those who are having occupational therapy as part of an accommodation - it what ways has it been helpful or if it has been helpful? Just trying to get a sense of how occupational therapy might fit in.

Dad’s story
I’m writing on behalf of my dad who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis back in 1982 when he was 28. He managed his condition very well with no medication, just diet and a healthy lifestyle until things started getting worse around 12 years ago. He was put on a medication which controlled things

Obviously, I have swelling because of the surgery but also because of the Lymphoedema so decided to get back to my ritual

Total knee replacement and AF
Hi Firstly thank you to everyone who has offered their support previously since I was diagnosed with AF last November. Over the last few years I have been trying to hold off a total knee replacement. (TKR) I was walking more to strengthen my muscles to support my knee and managed to ditch the brace

Happy New Year
Not much to post here but felt motivated to greet this helpful community into 2024, my fourth year living with PMR or at the very least the dregs and after effects.
