Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hi everyone, I am new to this group and was hoping you could give me some much needed advice so i can help my mum. She has been an RA sufferer for about 16 years with the last 5 years in remission (yes, there is always hope) All good things I guess must come to an end and for the past 4 months her RA has flared up. I am very worried about her hands in particular as she is slowly losing all feeling and they are becoming useless. A couple of days ago her wrist totally collapsed and is now all floppy. She is being treated by her rheumatologist who carried out some nerve tests on her fingers and we are waiting for her to go and see a specialist but you know how long that can take !! Anyway I hope I haven't rambled on too much and just wanted to say that although i do not suffer from RA I have seen first hand what you are all going through and I admire you all for your courage. Thank you Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
