This is a photo from yesterday at the Portsmouth Hospital Arthritis and Connective Tissue Conference for patients. Topics covered Inflammatory Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Connective Tissue Disease. (Vasculitis, Scleroderma, Raynaud's, Sjogens and Lupus.) Also discussed and covered were Fatigue Management, Pain Management, Gout, Understanding Medication, Exercise, Foot and ankle problems and pain, Behind Closed Doors ( personal and emotional problems) , for Carers there were drop in sessions Support and relaxation. It was aimed at patients but there were doctors and nurses there from the Portsmouth Hospital. I just wish other hospitals could something like this , but I know it all depends on cost and funding.
