Hi my name is Cindy

[Cindyk]

I was diagnoised with MS in Dec 2009. I am new to chat forums, but I have been looking for answers to questions and I am hoping this forum will help. I have had arthritis for 20 years and the MS really was triggered by one of my Arthritis medications. We lost control of the arthritis and I am still learning what is MS - the differences in pains and issues. I feel like a lab rat. I am looking for people who have MS & RA and how their journey has gone.

Hi Cindy

Welcome!

I have had arthritis for 20 years and the MS really was triggered by one of my Arthritis medications.

Sorry to learn that you have two diseases to deal with - both MS and RA. Doesn't seem very fair to have to contend with both.

There was a recent thread about having MS and RA in the General Questions and Answers Forum:

And here's one that's not as recent:

Cindy, feel free to start a thread or ask your questions in the General Questions and Answers Forum if you want to- that Forum seems to get more views, and you may get more responses there.

In any case, glad you have joined MS World, and hope that you will benefit from the info and support.

If you have any questions - just ask and we'll be glad to help if we can.

Looking forward to seeing you around.

Take care,
KoKo
