Hi Jane, will take a look, but really don't think its possible to "BEAT" ra!
Always makes me a bit uneasy to read this term.
We can ease the journey in one way or another to a certain extent but I always feel that this makes it sound as though we are not trying hard enough to help ourselves and gives people the wrong idea about ra, and can be misleading.
I think folk who say they have beaten it are incredibly lucky to be in remission! I dont mean to sound like an old misery guts, and am very happy for those who have found relief.
I like to be open minded and am willing to try almost anything, within reason that is...... I just feel uncomfortable when I hear this said.
Thanks Zena xx.

Hi Zena

If I see things about ra, I type a post about it - but I'm open minded!
Does make me chuckle when the press make an eye catching title.

Anyway, unless I fall over the dogs, or down the stairs it will be highly unlikely I can get on the floor to do "the lotus" or "crab" in yoga!! My joints wouldn't allow me in any movement!

Your not a missery guts, we are all free to express our views! Anyway imagine one day being "cured" and free from our nasty meds (no more dodgy tummy)!

Acupuncture looks good, however u need a hoist to get me on a table/couch.....I haven't the climbing power
Xxx

p s I tried acupuncture, cost me over £300 for ten sessions and didn't do a thing
