Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hi All,

I've been having tests done and they've found out I have (RA) Rheumatoid Arthritis, can you believe it. Mind you I've been on a 6 week course of Steroids and now on another tablets, I actually feel the best I have for a long time. Maybe some of my back pain was down to RA all along. I felt that good that last week I decorated my son and daughters bedrooms.

Hope that you're all relatively pain free, speak to you all soon.

ive been on the site a few months now and my test for rhuematoid arthritis came back negative and wonder if through routine blood tests you were the same and if it was follow up tests you had done picked up on it. I hope you don,t mind me asking as my fingers, knees ankles and feet are really painful. How are you keeping now pain wise i was impressed when you said you had decorated. I loved decorating but since my disc prolapse can,t do alot anymore.
this is a great site and would like to get to know you all a bit better.
I hope things are going well for you still and look orward to hearing from you.
