After reading so many messages today from all you people who need help you have come to the right place. We have people (like Eileen) who are so knowledgeable, and know more than some of the doctors that help us a lot.

I have had PMR for five years, and in the last two was told i also have RA/OA,

I have learnt to stick up to the doctors, go armed with papers and question, get blood reports , which i never thought i could.

I have a good Rhymi, he laughs at me when i ask questions, he understands me and never talks down to me like one of my GP at the surgery.

I try and keep to a good diet, sometime lapse with chocolate, 80% plain, learn fron Angrha a lot as she know such a lot too.

So i take each day as it comes, and think to myself there are people worse than me, but after saying that i did have a bad couple of days which i thought why me!!!!!!!!!!!
