Putting it on record so I remember to watch it..... thankyou Sandra


Got an ATOS meeting to assess me for a longterm DLA claim awarded to me in 2006 for damage to my left arm, due to breast cancer surgery.

I don't have any experience of injections but I do have it in my hip. I also had very heavy periods too - but hopefully they can help with it better now.
can I suggest you post it all as a question and then more people will see it,
it's been hard having ra since I was 20, but I feel for your daughter.
mine was diagnosed as juvenile [even at 20] and I did have a long remission once, My joints swell but have never deformed and I'm 56 now.
regards,
sandra.
