I was diagnosed following the death of my father in February. My life has changed completely, I have also had to give up work. My mental health, stress, anxiety and brain fog are a crippling as the physical symptoms. My home has become inadequate, but I am struggling to find alternatives. I also have severe allergies and chronic asthma and struggle daily. Thank you for sharing your experience. RA can be a very isolating disease.

I’m so sorry that it took so long for you to be diagnosed, Joti, but well done for your selfless achievements since then. I was fortunate in that my GP had RA in his family so immediately diagnosed the problem. Even so, the early months were so painful in all respects. NRAS and Versus Arthritis were inestimable sources of support and information, and have remained so since.

Thank you for the kind words Gillian! We will make sure we pass this on if she doesn't see it herself.

Well done Jyoti, indo agree with you, I got diagnosed about 25 years ago, I had the same thing, I was about 32-33 years, before I got diagnosed. Same here mine started overnight, I got up one day my Knee was swollen, I had very low iron that something was wrong, used to go to the GP, had a tell the Dr, then she sentme to the hospital, I was still breastfeeding my son, I had lots of weight. My family was concerned about my health. .
