New to the group and introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am new to the group and just want to give a brief background. I am

45 years old, female, with psorasis. I have been the primary caregiver

for my mother. She is now 66 years old. She was has had RA since age

33. My grandfather has had RA and has now passed away. My mother has

been on every medication they make, shots, treatments, and braces for

her hands, arms, etc. I come here with those experiences to help

others. Mom has also been on prednisone for a very long time if anyone

needs information on this. We have been told she has one of the worst

cases of RA ever seen before by doctors. Ask me any questions and I

will answer them according to what I have seen and experienced with

her. I have psorasis which is a form of the same auto-immune disorders

and will gladly talk about this also. My mother is alive today and has

fought against RA for so long she deserves a medal. Sorry I said this

would be brief - any writers want a good book about R.A. then we

definitely have a story to tell. Thank you for allowing me to be part

of this group.
