Hi, my name is Mark111!

Hi Mark; how are you doing today? It's perhaps difficult for me to properly understand that your life seemed to change dramatically with your RA diagnosis, as I had a genetic disorder, which whilst I didn't get a diagnosis until I was 47, I'd been 'growing into' the disorder I had all the time! This has caused me to have generalised osteoarthrosis + neuropathic pain. So we share 'arthritis.' Others here have many different problems, but we have much in common with pain, mobility, etc.

So, you can say, or ask anything here as there is great understanding about these difficulties we all face.
