Hi Charlotte,
Just wanted to say hi & welcome you to the site. I know how scary it can feel when you are first diagnosed - I was in your shoes just over 18 months ago. If it wasn't for the information and fantastic members here I don't know how I would've coped.
There is always someone who can relate to how or feeling or just offer a friendly word. We have a giggle here sometimes too :hehe:
One of the best tips I learned here which Laura also mentioned, was to keep a diary or log of symptoms, meds and appointments. It can all be a bit overwhelming when trying to remember things when you see the Rheumatologist so it's handy to have it written down.
I look forward to getting to know you.
Hugz,
