on Monday I went to see a consultant about my arthritis. He looked through my medical notes and as he read out the thing that were wrong with me (long list) he said how do you know you have got that. I couldn't believe it these things were on the screen in front of him!

     i see my rheumatoid arthritis every 2 months and i have never been treated like you have, i would go back to your doctor and demand to see someone else. I have always been treated with respect, my specialist nurse is at the end of a phone 365 days ... arthritis is not funny and needs treatment before it progresses and damages your joints beyond repair

    Hi @deb74 how are you doing today? I am sorry to hear this, like @vikingqueen suggested it may be best to see another consultant. Please keep us updated.

    My doctor no thinks that the problems were linked to fibromyalgia and not arthritis so he is arranging for me to see a fibromyalgia and ME specialist
