Arthritis

I have been reading all the forum messages and take on board all your comments. Feel a bit guilty now, cause I signed up for a moan, but after reading some stuff, maybe I.ve not got that much to moan about. Anyway wanted to ask for comments on middled aged men, 50, with chronic rheumetoid arthritis, and how, if any wives or partners coped with it. From my own experience, my partner, Richard was able to jump off Scafforlding on a building site, five years ago, and now he is virtually in a wheelchair. Awfy quick what happened.

elspeth, all you and anyone else can do is the best. My wife is arthritic and wheelchair bound and like you when I found this site I also found that my life was far fron being as bad as I had thought. I do find the chat room here a great help if only for some outside contact buy I am sure there will be others able to advice and suppport you. Smile emoticon
