    That's the best way forward. Get a proper diagnosis and then take it from there. Once you actually know what you're suffering from then you can ask about and investigate

    different medications.

      Have booked in at the Docs for next Tuesday and asking for a referral, he has said that it's probably Arthritus, even though I've not had any X-rays???  so will wait and see.

      My eldest sister had RA and am wondering if it runs in familys???

      Hi

      Good you've got an appointment to get it all sorted out hopefully. 

      I'm sure I've read that it is hereditary although no one in my family had it, but I also have an underactive thyroid that's supposed to be hereditary but no one else in my family has that either. 

      There's always one eh ? smile
